Boeing Co.’s top executive sees a rocky road ahead for US airlines, saying it’s probable that a major carrier will go out of business as the Covid-19 pandemic keeps passengers off planes.
The recovery is going to be slow, with air traffic languishing at depressed levels for months, Boeing Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun said in an interview to be aired Tuesday on NBC. Asked by ‘Today’ show host Savannah Guthrie if a major airline might have to fold, Calhoun replied, “Yes, most likely,” according to a preview of the interview provided by NBC.
