Boeing sank deeper into crisis 6
On March 25, Boeing announced that CEO David Calhoun would leave this position after 4 years in office.
However, he was unable to create further achievements in his career, such as when leading Caterpillar, General Electric and Nieslen.
The next leader at the iconic American aircraft manufacturer will have to deal with problems similar to Calhoun.
In addition to Calhoun, Boeing’s President and Director of Commercial Airplanes also resigned earlier this week.
However, if the search for a replacement leader drags on, efforts to turn the situation around will be slowed down.
`The faster they find it, the better. Because the new CEO will have to handle a huge amount of work,` said Bill George – CEO of Medtronic.
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun in Washington in January 2023.
Calhoun tried to solve Boeing’s supply chain problems by tightening quality control with fuselage supplier Spirit AeroSystems.
Investigators said that during the production process, Alaska Airlines’ aircraft doors were removed or opened at Boeing’s factory in Washington.
Calhoun is in talks with Spirit about buying the company.
During Calhoun’s tenure, Boeing still struggled to compete with Airbus.
Although both companies have received large orders from airlines to serve increased flight demand after the pandemic, Boeing’s production and quality problems are making customers angry.
Airbus is the opposite.
Solving Boeing’s problems is a huge undertaking, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said earlier this month.

The part was detached in the incident of the Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft in the US on January 5.
Boeing is still in trouble with authorities.
Tensions between the two sides increased earlier this month.
The US Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation after the Alaska Airlines incident.
Leaders of unions involving Boeing workers are demanding seats on the Board of Directors, for the first time in Boeing’s nearly 108-year history.
For many years, before the door opening incident occurred, airline leaders had expressed dissatisfaction with delayed deliveries.
In his final months in office, Calhoun’s task will probably be to clear the way for the new CEO to take over.
