Boeing will stop production of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler after a U.S. Navy contract awarded on 29 September, valued at US$16.7 million, initiates the systematic shutdown of the production lines.
The shutdown work is scheduled to continue until November 2030, several years after the final aircraft are delivered, with deliveries of the last units beginning in late 2026 and finishing in spring 2027. Congress funded an additional 17 Block III aircraft under a US$1.3 billion contract signed in 2024, extending production beyond the originally planned end, while the Navy plans to keep the Super Hornet in service into the 2040s through a Service Life Modification program.
