The Boeing logo is seen on the side of a Boeing 737 MAX at the Farnborough International Airshow, in Farnborough, Britain on Jul 20, 2022. NEW YORK: Boeing faces a Thursday deadline to respond to a US Department of Justice determination that the planemaker can be prosecuted for violating a 2021 deal that allowed it to escape criminal prosecution over two fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes.
The case, which relates to a deferred prosecution agreement over two Boeing 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019 that together claimed 346 lives, comes as Boeing faces intensifying scrutiny following recent manufacturing and safety problems. And next Tuesday, Boeing Chief Executive Dave Calhoun takes a turn before Congress in a hearing with the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
The January 2021 agreement required Boeing to pay US$2.5 billion to settle fraud charges over the certification of the Boeing 737 MAX. In October 2018, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 operated by Lion Air crashed in Indonesia's Java Sea, leaving 189 people dead.
