VIP Tour of Boeing’s Everett Factory
The Boeing Team will be hosting you on site for a VIP Tour of the Everett factory. This factory floor tour is reserved for special guests, airline customer executives, and government officials. It will take you closer to the assembly process than the public tour. You will be directly touring the production lines for Boeing’s wide-body aircraft, the 747, 777 and 787, with up front views of our processes and product.
Located just 25 miles north of Seattle, the Boeing Tour is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to view 747, 777, and 787 jets being assembled on the Everett production line before they take to the sky. Boeing’s Everett factory holds the record for the world’s largest building by volume. The tour is approximately 60-90 minutes long and includes fascinating facts about Boeing and the planes that bear its name.
The Boeing Tour involves walking down and up two steep flights of stairs at each end of the factory, walking through two large tunnels, the first .3 miles (.5 km) round trip, the second shorter, and riding two freight elevators to balconies overlooking the Boeing factory floor. Please let us know if you have any special needs.
Safety is a key value for The Boeing Company, and for all of our team members. Please read the Visitor Safety Guide.
Security Requirements: Government-issued photo ID is required for all guests. Non-US guests must bring a passport or similar documentation and provide AAA their country of citizenship two weeks in advance of the tour. Please note that The Boeing Company does not permit still photos or video cameras on the tour. In addition, there are no personal items allowed on the tour, including purses, backpacks, waist pouches, binoculars, cell phones, etc. Lockers are available onsite.
