The US aircraft large Boeing announced now that the company’s CEO, Dave Calhoun, will retire by the end of 2024. This decision was made in response to the effects of a significant security incident that occurred on an Alaska Airlines journey in early January.
Following the agency’s previous security hiccup, when all Boeing 737 Max helicopters were grounded worldwide in 2019 after two fatal accidents in Indonesia and Ethiopia resulted in 346 deaths, Mr. Calhoun assumed his position after four years in charge of the business. These aircraft were finally given the go-ahead to begin flying in 2021 following a two-year suspension.
The authorities are now looking into the most recent incident involving Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, which occurred when a door lock ( a composition installed to replace an additional emergency exit door ) burst on the Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft.
The organization is now facing challenges, and the outgoing CEO expressed complete trust in Boeing’s ability to overcome these difficulties and emerge stronger in a statement released today. After the challenging circumstances that the company has encountered over the past five decades, Calhoun emphasized the agency’s unwavering commitment to ensuring health and quality as its workers continue to collaborate.
The Boeing CEO continued,” The eyes of the world are on us, and I know that we will travel through this minute as a better business.
At the bank’s forthcoming annual shareholder meeting in the spring, Boeing announced that Larry Kellner, who has served on the board for about 15 years, will certainly seek re-nomination for a second term. As a result, Steve Mollenkopf, the former CEO of intel Qualcomm, will soon assume the role of Boeing’s table head and handle the search for a new chief executive. Boeing claimed that the board of directors will also be affected by this leadership transition. SOURCE: Embattled Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun Will Resign This Year BY: eTurboNews | eTN
