Recent developments have put Boeing in the spotlight once again, with the possibility of facing criminal charges looming over the troubled aircraft manufacturer. The Justice Department has raised concerns that Boeing has breached the terms of a 12-year-old safety agreement from 2021, which allowed the company to avoid criminal charges following two fatal crashes involving its 737 Max jets.
The move by the Justice Department comes in light of a series of safety issues that have plagued Boeing in recent years. One of the most notable incidents was the door plug that detached from an Alaska Airlines aircraft earlier this year, raising new questions about the company's safety protocols.
