History

Historical Context

The grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX in March 2019 followed two fatal crashes, Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, which killed 346 people. This crisis led to over $20 billion in damages and regulatory scrutiny, prompting significant changes in Boeing's governance. The FAA's recent restoration of Boeing's certification authority and new orders from airlines indicate a cautious recovery in investor confidence and the aerospace sector's resilience.
