Boeing Sanctioned, Faces DOJ Charges

Boeing is negotiating with the US Justice Department to resolve potential criminal charges related to two fatal 737 Max crashes, potentially involving a corporate monitor. This comes amidst ongoing scrutiny over a January incident involving a mid-air blowout of a fuselage panel on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has sanctioned Boeing for violating investigative regulations by disclosing unauthorized information to the media. Despite these sanctions, Boeing will retain its party status in the NTSB investigation but will lose access to investigative information. The company faces additional challenges, including financial strain and the search for a new CEO, while it works to restore quality and reputation. The federal investigation continues, with potential for further charges and repercussions.
