Outgoing US transport chief says Boeing has more to do after 737 MAX incident

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The outgoing U.S. transportation secretary said on Monday that Boeing (NYSE:BA) has more to do and its efforts to improve its culture are unfinished after a door panel missing four key bolts flew off a new Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 in mid-air in January 2024.

“There were real deficiencies … there is much more to do,” Pete Buttigieg told Reuters in an interview. “I think the culture change at Boeing is something that is a real work in progress and the only way to fully assess it will be to see they can consistently improve results.”
