Boeing To Pay $2.5 Billion For Misleading U.S. Government About 737 MAX

in order to resolve a criminal charge of conspiracy to defraud the FAA’s Aircraft Evaluation Group.

According to prosecutors, Boeing knowingly deceived the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration by failing to disclose details of an addition to its automated flight control systems when it certified the 737 MAX, the latest version of its bestselling narrow-body airliner, leaving pilots of the planes unaware of the changes.

Prosecutors blamed two Boeing technical pilots on the 737 MAX program for failing to alert the FAA about changes made to the plane’s new Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS, that kept the information from being included in an FAA report that was used to create flight manuals, leaving pilots of the 737 MAX in the dark.

MCAS activated erroneously on Lion Air Flight 610 in 2018 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in 2019, forcing the planes to descend at a sharp angle and surprising their pilots, who were unable to counteract the system, leading the planes to crash. Most of the money, $1.77 billion, will go to compensate airlines that own and operate the 737 MAX, with $500 million allocated for beneficiaries of crash victims while Boeing will pay $243.6 million as a criminal penalty.“Boeing’s employees chose the path of profit over candor,” Acting Assistant Attorney General David P. Burns said.
