Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun has announced his decision to resign from his position by the end of 2024. Along with Calhoun, the chairman of the company’s board Larry Kellner will also be stepping down, with Steve Mollenkopf taking over the role of chairman. Additionally, Stan Deal, CEO of the Commercial Airplanes business unit, will be retiring.
Calhoun has been serving as CEO of Boeing since 2020 and has made the decision to resign himself. Although he did not specify a reason for his departure in a company press release, it is believed that safety issues with Boeing’s aircraft have played a significant role in his decision.
Several incidents have occurred recently, including the loss of parts during flights and emergency landings. The US Department of Justice has initiated a criminal investigation into one of these incidents, which has put Boeing under intense scrutiny. Despite these challenges, Boeing continues to work towards ensuring the safety and reliability of its aircraft. The company remains committed to addressing any issues that may arise and maintaining the trust of its customers and stakeholders.
