Boeing’s head of government affairs, Ziad Ojakli, is leaving immediately. He will be replaced by Bill McSherry on an interim basis. Ojakli took over in September 2021. Boeing has faced challenges this year, including an incident with a missing door plug on a Boeing 737 MAX 9 jet.

Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg is working to repair the company’s relationship with the FAA and lawmakers. Last month, the head of quality for commercial airplanes retired, and in September, the head of the space and defense unit left. Boeing finalized an agreement in July to plead guilty and pay up to $487 million.
