Boeing is undergoing significant leadership changes as CEO Dave Calhoun, chairman Larry Kellner, and head of the commercial airplane unit are set to leave the company by the end of the year. This shake-up comes amidst a tumultuous period for the aerospace giant, which has faced a series of challenges over the past five years.
The departure of Calhoun, Kellner, and other key executives marks a pivotal moment for Boeing as it seeks to navigate through ongoing issues with its aircraft. The company has been grappling with the aftermath of two fatal crashes involving the 737 Max in 2018 and 2019, resulting in the tragic loss of 346 lives. More recently, an incident involving a door plug blowing out of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in January has further highlighted safety concerns.
