LE BOURGET, France - Boeing executives took turns to apologize for the loss of life in two 737 MAX crashes and pledged to apply lessons of the crisis to future planes as the world’s largest aerospace company struck a chastened tone at the opening of the Paris Airshow.
“This is the most trying of times,” Boeing commercial airplanes boss Kevin McAllister told a press briefing. Boeing has been criticized for what some PR experts consider a lawyer-driven and wooden response to the three-month-old MAX crisis, though Muilenburg has said it is approaching the Paris Airshow with humility and stressing safety as its top priority.
“The long pole in the tent remains engine issues,” McAllister said of General Electric’s GE9X engine. McAllister said he was “staying very close to the situation” but that it was premature to make any predictions on timing delays for the program.
