SEATTLE, March 23 (Reuters) - Boeing Co will halt production temporarily at its twin-aisle jetliner factory in Washington state due to the spread of coronavirus, the U.S. planemaker said on Monday, following a similar move by European rival Airbus SE.

Confirming an earlier Reuters report, Boeing added that a temporary operations shutdown will last 14 days beginning March 25.
