Boeing is entering another rebuilding year after a tumultuous twelve months marked by safety concerns, mounting losses, and leadership changes. The company faced heightened scrutiny following a midair fuselage incident on a 737 Max 9, attributed to missing bolts during assembly. The Federal Aviation Administration has increased oversight, capping production of Boeing’s best-selling 737 Max jets and demanding a cultural shift prioritizing safety over profits. New CEO Kelly Ortberg, appointed in August, is steering the turnaround by stabilizing production, cutting 10% of the workforce, and focusing on core businesses.
