The American aircraft manufacturer Boeing was once the undisputed top dog in civil aviation. They swallowed up American competitors such as McDonell Douglas and for a long time had a comfortable lead over their European rival Airbus. But then Boeing got new management. It made decisions that continue to harm the aircraft manufacturer today and are causing more and more passengers to doubt the safety of its planes. Krone+ analyzes how this came about – and which models travelers should avoid.
Boeing’s civilian passenger aircraft are in fact workhorses of global aviation, especially the short- and medium-haul model 737, used by many airlines around the world – in various stages of modernization since the 1960s. Accidents happened again and again due to the large number of aircraft in use. However, after a series of accidents with the new 737 Max model, Boeing fell into a deep crisis of confidence over the past three years. The causes date back nearly a quarter century and began shortly after the acquisition of McDonell Douglas.
