United Airlines Forms Agreement With Boeing To Recover Q1 Financial Damages

United Airlines, one of Boeing’s biggest customers, has struck a deal with the plane maker for compensation for the losses incurred from the grounding of 737 MAX 9 aircraft earlier this year. The events following the Alaska Airlines blowout incident in January were a major embarrassment for Boeing and cost a lot of money to carriers like United that suffered from operational disruption following the temporary grounding of the MAX 9 variant.
