Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun has announced his resignation: After a series of safety defects in aircraft production, Calhoun wants to leave his seat at the end of this year.
With Calhoun, the head of the board of directors and the head of the commercial aircraft division are also leaving the group. The stock market reacted positively to this announcement. Shares of Boeing rose more than two percent in premarket trading.
The aerospace group is in crisis: just a few days ago, a United Airlines Boeing 737-800 lost a fuselage part. Early this year, part of the cabin wall of an Alaska Airlines Boeing plane was torn away shortly after takeoff. Several bolts are said to be missing from the part – the investigating FBI of the US Federal Police called it a “crime”.
