In major shakeup of Boeing's leadership, CEO Dave Calhoun said Monday he intends to leave the beleaguered company by the end of the year.
Boeing's chairman, Larry Kellner, will not stand for re-election as a board director. The board has elected former Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf to succeed him. Boeing has been buffeted by more than five years of problems with its airplanes, including two fatal crashes of the 737 Max in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people, and most recently a door plug that blew out of the side of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in January, leaving a gaping hole in the side of the plane. The problems have led to multiple groundings for safety issues and more than $31 billion in cumulative losses.
"The eyes of the world are on us," he said in announcing his departure plans. "We are going to fix what isn't working, and we are going to get our company back on the track towards recovery and stability."
