The Boeing Company has been producing aircraft in Canada since the 1930s:
- Boeing Toronto
, from 1997 to 2005, was a manufacturer of
Boeing 717
wings, Delta rocket parts, the C-17 transport and the 737 airliner. This was a former
McDonnell-Douglas
Canada location which had been used by them from 1967 to 1997 which was absorbed by Boeing in 1997.
KC-10
and
MD-11
aircraft wings and related components,
MD-80
wings, empennage and cabin floors, and
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet
and CF-18 side panels and pylons were made there at that time. This was the Malton facility adjacent to
Toronto Pearson International Airport
that before McDonnell-Douglas it had been the
Avro Canada
plant where the
Avro CF-105 Arrow
was built. The plant was closed in 2005 after Boeing ended production of 717 and most of the buildings have since been torn down. TransAlta Corporation co-generation plant built in 1992 remained after Boeing plant demolished but it was finally demolished after 2019 following impact assessment.
