A top executive at Boeing’s troubled South Carolina plant is out
The executive in charge of Boeing’s troubled 787 Dreamliner factory in North Charleston, SC, is leaving the company, according to an internal company memo reviewed by The New York Times Wednesday.

No full-time successor to Carbon, who plans to return to his native Australia, was announced.
