Boeing Says It Has Reached Deal to Avoid Prosecution in Crash Cases
- A federal judge vacated the June 23, 2025 trial in Fort Worth, Texas, involving Boeing and fatal crashes of its 737 MAX jets.
- The trial cancellation followed a tentative non-prosecution deal between Boeing and the DOJ linked to 2018 and 2019 crashes that killed 346 people.
- As part of the settlement, Boeing will provide a total of $1.1 billion, with $445 million allocated to families of the victims, while the Justice Department will drop criminal fraud charges subject to the judge's final approval.
- Boeing stated it is committed to additional fines and institutional improvements, and the government called the settlement a fair resolution providing meaningful accountability.
- If approved, the deal ends prolonged litigation but faces criticism from some victim families who view it as unprecedented and inadequate for the deadliest US corporate crime.
