(Reuters) -Boeing said on Wednesday it would relocate F/A-18 fighter jet’s service life modification work out of the St. Louis region to support its expansion plans for future programs.

The program will be relocated starting in 2026 with all St. Louis based work ending in 2027, Boeing said.

The planemaker is weighing several potential sites for the work transfer, with case studies underway at its San Antonio and Jacksonville facilities.
