Penalties and breakdowns

How the Boeing crisis is affecting passengers and aviation

Crashes and constant quality problems are causing turbulence for aircraft manufacturer Boeing and could cost billions. Criminal proceedings in the USA are imminent. Passengers are afraid to board the broken-down planes - the "Krone" spoke to an aviation expert.

The latest low blow is the decision by the US Department of Justice that Boeing has violated conditions imposed following the crashes of two 737 Max planes in 2018 and 2019. At the time, the US company only paid a fine of 243 million dollars, but escaped more severe prosecution. But now there could be even harsher consequences for the US company.
