WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Aerospace giant Boeing Co. on Wednesday said it will
move its corporate headquarters out of Seattle as part of a plan to implement
a leaner structure.

Boeing also named three new chief executives for its commercial, space and
military and missile businesses.

The company said it is eyeing Chicago, Denver and Dallas/Ft. Worth for its
new corporate center, noting it would make a final decision on the move by
early summer. Boeing said it plans to have an operational center in the new
headquarters by fall.

The new headquarters will employ about half the 1,000 employees currently
working in the Seattle offices, Boeing said.

Boeing named Alan Mulally as president and CEO of Commercial Airplanes in
Seattle; Jerry Daniels as president and CEO of Military Aircraft and Missile
Systems in St. Louis, and Jim Albaugh as president and CEO of Space and
Communications in Seal Beach, Calif.
