<p class="has-drop-cap">Boeing (NYSE: BA), once a leading force in the aerospace industry, is grappling with an unprecedented <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/jun/01/boeing-safety-crisis-response-union-busting" target="_blank" aria-label="safety crisis and production issues (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">safety crisis and production issues</a> that have eroded customer trust and shareholder value. The company’s long-term safety concerns, recent incidents, and regulatory scrutiny have overshadowed its prospects.</p>
<p>Recently, Emirates president Tim Clark discussed the firm and how <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-02/boeing-will-need-years-for-turnaround-emirates-clark-predicts" target="_blank" aria-label="it could take years for Boeing to get its house in order (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">it could take years for Boeing to get its house in order</a>. The company’s shares have <a href="https://tokenist.com/boeing-vs-airbus-stock-which-one-is-a-safer-hold-for-the-long-term/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">lost over 49%</a> in the last five years, a period of significant turbulence for the aviation giant.</p>
<h3 id="safety-crisis-at-boeing-has-been-a-decade-in-the-making">Safety Crisis at Boeing has Been a Decade in the Making</h3>
<p>The safety crisis at Boeing has been a decade in the making, with <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/hershshefrin/2024/01/28/boeings-weak-corporate-culture-underlies-difficulties-with-737-max-9/" target="_blank" aria-label="many speculating (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">many speculating</a> that the company’s shift from engineering excellence to cost-cutting and profit maximization was at the heart of the problem. Boeing’s push to extract cost cuts from suppliers and outsource work previously done in-house has led to significant quality issues and supply chain disruptions.</p>
<p>The company’s governance model, which became more focused on financial metrics, has negatively impacted its engineering and quality control processes.</p>
<p>Following the <a href="https://tokenist.com/boeing-united-airlines-dip-premarket-as-us-grounds-737-max-jets/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">Alaska Airlines (NYSE: ALK) incident</a> in January, where a door plug detached mid-flight, the FAA has capped the production rates of the 737 Max planes and increased oversight on Boeing’s production lines. The FAA has emphasized the need for systemic change at Boeing, focusing on meeting quality and safety milestones before any increase in production can be approved.</p>
<p>In response, Boeing has developed an <a href="https://www.boeing.com/strengthening-safety-and-quality" target="_blank" aria-label="11-page Product Safety and Quality Plan (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">11-page Product Safety and Quality Plan</a>, which includes investing in workforce training, simplifying plans and processes, eliminating defects, and elevating the safety and quality culture.</p>

<h3 id="alaska-airlines-incident-and-future-challenges">Alaska Airlines Incident and Future Challenges</h3>
<p>The ongoing issues at Boeing have taken a toll on the company’s business, with customers expressing frustration and disappointment over the production issues. Boeing revealed it burned through £1 billion a month in the first quarter of the year after slowing production and paying £347 million in compensation. The company’s shares have fallen by nearly a third since the Alaska Airlines incident, reflecting the financial impact of the crisis.</p>
<p>Boeing’s problems are not limited to the company itself. They affect the global aviation industry, with supply chain disruptions also impacting Airbus and other manufacturers. Emirates president Tim Clark predicts a five-year hiatus for Boeing to address and recover from these issues, highlighting the long road ahead for the company.</p>
<p>As Boeing works to address its safety and production issues, it faces increased scrutiny from regulators and legal authorities. The FAA, the National Transportation Safety Board, and the American government are all closely monitoring the company’s actions. Additionally, the US Department of Justice has filed a case accusing Boeing of <a href="https://apnews.com/article/boeing-justice-department-737-max-82145b25ed988cd8cae0bce3de79ce9d" target="_blank" aria-label="breaching its obligations in a 2021 agreement (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">breaching its obligations in a 2021 agreement</a> that shielded the company from criminal prosecution over past crashes.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
