The company said in a news release that it had made improvements “in multiple areas including safety culture, training, simplifying their processes, and eliminating defects.”The announcement comes less than a week after the latest deadly incident involving one of its aircraft. In the worst air crash in South Korean history, 179 people were killed when a Boeing 737-800 belly-landed and skidded off the runway at the Muan International Airport. These incidents came after several fatal crashes involving Boeing jets in recent years, including Boeing planes operated by Indonesia’s Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines that led to the various aviation authorities issuing grounding orders against specific Boeing jets. The release itself notes both the 53-day strike as well as the Alaska Air incident that kicked off the company’s awful year. Sunday marks the one-year anniversary of the near-catastrophe aboard Alaska Airlines flight 1282 and the company will likely be keen to show its progress in the year since.

The American plane maker has been under intense pressure since early January, when a panel blew off a brand-new Alaska Airlines 737 Max midflight. Photos You Should See View All 60 ImagesTHE CRASHESThe bulk of criticism and investigations swirling around Boeing today center on the company's Max jets. Boeing agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle a Justice Department investigation, admitting that employees misled regulators about the safety of the 737 Max. Last year, Boeing reported a problem with fittings on Max jets where the fuselage meets the vertical section of the tail. Also under investigation is what prompted the emergency landing in Wichita, Kansas, of a Denver-bound United Airlines flight in December.

Boeing Co. will pay $200 million to settle charges that the company and its former CEO misled investors about the safety of its 737 Max after two of the airliners crashed, killing 346 people. Neither Boeing nor Muilenburg admitted wrongdoing, but they offered to settle and pay penalties, including $1 million to be paid by Muilenburg, who was ousted in December 2019, nine months after the second crash. The SEC said Boeing and Muilenburg knew that the flight system, known as MCAS, posed a safety issue but promised the public that the plane was safe. “Boeing and Muilenburg put profits over people by misleading investors about the safety of the 737 Max all in an effort to rehabilitate Boeing’s image” after the crashes, said Gurbir Grewal, director of the SEC’s enforcement division. Boeing said it has made “broad and deep changes across our company in response to those accidents” to improve safety and quality.
