History

Historical Context

Boeing completed its merger with McDonnell Douglas on August 1 1997 after the European Commission imposed three conditions; the deal, a $13 billion stock swap, folded the 1967-formed McDonnell Douglas into Boeing’s commercial and defense portfolio. The consolidation illustrated a long-term trend of U.S. aerospace unification that continues to shape regulator scrutiny of future mergers.
