Hughes Wins Boeing Contract: Hughes Aircraft Co. said it has won a $20-million contract to build cable assemblies for Boeing Co.’s 747-400 and 767 jetliners.
The five-year contract calls for Hughes’ Interconnect Systems Division to supply devices to electrically wire passenger entertainment systems for new aircraft made by Seattle-based Boeing.
The Hughes division in Irvine has been outfitting Boeing jumbo jets with cable assemblies during the last year. The company said it could get potential orders to provide spares for existing aircraft.
