Summary

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Boeing has lost public trust after the 737 MAX mid-air emergency in January 2024 and two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019.

He warned that strict oversight will continue, and the FAA will not lift the 38-plane monthly production cap yet.

Boeing’s leadership is making improvements, but Duffy insists they need “tough love.” Boeing faces a criminal fraud charge and a $243.6 million fine for breaching a 2021 agreement.
