After repeated incidents, Boeing fires 737 MAX program manager. Katie Ringgold, currently vice president in charge of 737 delivery operations, will succeed Ed Clark. The company is still suffering from the incident that occurred in January when a door came off the cabin of a 737 MAX 9 during an Alaska Airlines flight. The 737 MAX had been grounded for almost two years after the crashes of two aircraft, the first of the Indonesian company Lion Air, the second, at the beginning of 2019, of the Ethiopian company Ethiopian Airlines.
SEATTLE Boeing said Wednesday that the head of its 737 program is leaving the company in an executive shake-up weeks after a door panel blew out on a flight over Oregon, renewing questions about safety at the company.
