Shares of Boeing Co. fell in Thursday’s extended session after the aircraft maker said it would cut back production on 747s to 0.5 plane per month by September from one currently. “Global air passenger traffic growth and airplane demand remain strong, but the air cargo market recovery that began in late 2013 has stalled in recent months and slowed demand for the 747-8 Freighter,” said Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
