"It's still in shambles": How Boeing can come back from crisis

Published On Dec 27, 2024, 9:20 PM

Boeing has faced significant challenges this year, including a safety crisis, financial losses from worker strikes, and internal distrust in its management. The company has been criticized for cutting corners on safety and has appointed a new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, who promises to focus on safety and rebuild trust. Recent incidents with its 737 Max aircraft have raised safety concerns. While some industry experts believe Boeing is changing for the better, doubts remain about its corporate culture and quality control, with a potential opportunity for new competitors to emerge in the aerospace market.
