It makes him the second successive chief to go after a 737 Max crisis.
AdvertisementOn Monday morning, Dave Calhoun became the second successive Boeing CEO to lose his job in the wake of a 737 Max crisis.
Muilenburg was terminated as the planemaker fought for its reputation after 346 people died in two 737 Max 8 crashes in 2018 and 2019.
After the longest-ever grounding for a US airliner, the 737 Max was ungrounded 10 months into Calhoun's reign.
