CHICAGO: Boeing Co Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg said on Monday the company was making steady progress towards getting approval for new 737 MAX software as he faced shareholders for the first time since two fatal crashes triggered the jet’s grounding.
Battling the biggest crisis of his tenure, Muilenburg was expected to try to bolster confidence in Boeing’s fastest-selling airplane as questions linger over the model’s safety.
Family and friends of 24-year-old American Samya Stumo, one of the victims of the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX on March 10, will hold a silent protest outside the meeting site.
