Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun to Testify on 737 MAX Safety Issues

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun will testify before a U.S. Senate panel about safety issues affecting the company's 737 MAX aircraft.

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun will testify before a U.S. Senate panel on June 18 after a series of safety issues have raised concerns about the planemaker's quality and regulators have barred Boeing from expanding production of its best-selling 737 MAX.

Senator Richard Blumenthal, who chairs the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, said Calhoun would testify about a series of issues. The Federal Aviation Administration in February barred Boeing from boosting production of its best-selling plane after a door panel blew out during a Jan. 5 flight on a 737 MAX 9 operated by Alaska Airlines.
