Boeing 737 MAX Fraud Trial Set For June 23rd

Boeing is in continued discussion with the DOJ regarding this case.

Boeing’s plea deal was rejected by a judge in December 2024.

According to Brian West, aluminum and steel account for no more than 2% of Boeing aircraft’s total cost.

Duffy asserted that Boeing, which has yet to produce 38 737 MAXs per month, is not there yet to allow the FAA to lift the production rate cap.

The carrier expects to begin receiving its new narrowbodies in the next few years.

Boeing has already built more than 1,700 aircraft from its next-generation narrowbody series.

Many airlines are confident the MAX will be a great aircraft, and its issues are not considered bad enough to switch to the A320neo.

Maria Cantwell also alleged that Steven Bradbury’s office interfered with the Committee’s investigation of the two fatal 737 MAX crashes.

Some 19 of them will be on the Boeing 757.

The airline plans a record 17 European routes this summer, with 11 being on the MAX.
