Boeing is facing potential U.S. prosecution after violating a 2021 settlement related to the 737 Max crashes. Federal prosecutors are deciding how to proceed, giving Boeing 30 days to respond. The company denies claims of failing to enforce a compliance program. In January 2021, Boeing paid $2.5 billion to settle charges of concealing information about the crashes.

The Justice Department accused Boeing of deceiving the FAA about the capabilities of a flight-control system on the 737 Max planes involved in the crashes. Families of crash victims are calling for further action to hold Boeing accountable for its conduct. Boeing has been under scrutiny after a door panel blew out midair on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9.

The incident has added to Boeing’s ongoing challenges as it tries to stabilize production and repair its reputation following the previous crashes.
