US-Boeing Deal over Crashes 'repugnant'

Saturday, June 07, 2025

A lawyer for 16 families of the victims of a fatal Boeing 737 Max crash, has told the BBC that a deal between the aviation giant and the US Justice Department (DOJ) is "morally repugnant". The firm said it agreed to pay $1.1bn (811.5m) to avoid prosecution over two crashes that killed 346 people, in a filing on Wednesday.

The Trump administration has reached a deal that will allow Boeing to pay $1.1 billion to avoid criminal prosecution for two deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019, which together killed 346 people. Many victims' families, however, are still calling for Boeing's day in court.
