    BOEING Co plans to lay off hundreds of engineers in Washington state and other locations - and may eliminate more jobs later this year as the planemaker contends with slowing aircraft sales.

    The manufacturer plans to hand out pink slips on Friday, the same day that 305 engineers and technical workers will leave voluntarily under an earlier buyout offer. Boeing has pared 1,332 of the jobs from its Seattle-area manufacturing centre since the start of 2016, according to SPEEA, the union representing the workers.
