Boeing has finalised a deal to plead guilty to fraud after prosecutors in the United States determined that the company violated a deferred prosecution agreement over two fatal crashes of the 737 Max jetliner.
Under the plea deal filed in a federal court in Texas on Wednesday, Boeing would pay a $243.6m fine for misleading aviation regulators about software that played a role in crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people.
