The Litigation Between Boeing and the Victims’ Families
In the lawsuit filed against Boeing in 2019, the victims’ families allege that Boeing put the financial interests of its shareholders ahead of the safety of passengers and flight crews. Boeing rushed the design, manufacture and certification of the Boeing 737 MAX, misrepresented to the public, the FAA, and Boeing’s customers that the airplane was safe to fly and Boeing shockingly continued to claim that the aircraft was safe to fly even after the second crash of a Boeing 737 MAX. The plaintiffs’ allege that Boeing was eager to get the plane into service quickly, as the company viewed the new aircraft as Boeing’s best weapon in its war for market share with European rival Airbus and their new A320neo airplane.
Lawsuits arising from the crash, yet still unresolved, are scheduled for trial in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, beginning March 2023 (In re: Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET 302 Crash (1:19-cv-02170).
