Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun will step down at end of 2024
Quick Glance: Implications of Boeing CEO's Resignation on Aircraft Manufacturer
  • Dave Calhoun, the CEO of Boeing, is set to resign by the end of the year, with additional top executives leaving the company amidst safety concerns tarnishing its reputation following an incident involving an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in January.

  • It is emphasized that most Boeing aircraft remain safe, but only time will reveal whether the restructuring in the corporate leadership leads to tangible positive changes.

  • Implementing a cultural shift in a vast company like Boeing can prove to be a complex task, particularly for the incoming CEO tasked with rebuilding the company's image.

  • Despite thorough investigations and changes at the helm of Boeing, it is crucial to highlight that the company's airplanes are safe and continue to be maintained by dedicated professionals to ensure safety in the aviation industry.

Boeing overwrote surveillance footage of door plug repair, NTSB chair says
Quick Glance: Alaska Airlines Flight Maintenance and Safety
  • Alaska Airlines flight 1282, on which a door plug blew off the side of the plane shortly after takeoff on January 5, was scheduled to be taken out of service for maintenance the same day, according to the airline.

  • The National Transportation Safety Board found that Boeing probably did not put required bolts in the door plug to prevent that part from blowing off the plane.

  • NTSB discovered that concerns with warning lights led Alaska Airlines to restrict the plane from carrying passengers on long-haul routes over water.

  • While the maintenance schedule alignment does not necessarily implicate Alaska Airlines, it does raise further concerns regarding the maintenance policies and regulations of America's fleet.

Quick Glance: Boeing Plans Acquisition of Spirit Aero and Delays Production Hikes
  • Boeing is in talks to buy its former subsidiary Spirit AeroSystems and is delaying plans to increase 737 aircraft production due to a crisis triggered by a mid-air incident.

  • Boeing is struggling with quality issues resulting from years of decentralization of production capacities and loss of experienced workers. Reintegrating Spirit AeroSystems could address some of these quality problems and give Boeing more manufacturing control.

  • The US Federal Aviation Administration has prevented Boeing from increasing 737 MAX production, leading Boeing to postpone production increases until 2024 and 2025.

  • Spirit AeroSystems is facing cash flow problems and quality issues with fuselages for Boeing's 737 narrowbody jets. The opportunity to acquire Spirit could help Boeing address these issues.
