The year 2024 has already been very bad for the Boeing aircraft company. Its aircraft operating in various countries have been victims of accidents several times. Due to this, the company's share price also kept falling continuously.
Now an unfortunate year ended with a bad incident for Boeing as another jet of the company crashed in South Korea on Sunday (South Korea Plane Crash) .
What did the former Delta Airlines pilot say?
The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and aviation experts are looking at Sunday's incident as separate from the company's past safety problems. Delta Airlines consultant and former chief pilot Alan Price said Sunday's incident should not be confused with crashes involving Boeing 737 Max jetliners in 2018 and 2019.
This year the door got separated from the plane
Let us tell you that in January this year, the door plug of 737 Max came out during the flight, which raised more questions about the plane. Price said that the Boeing 737-800 that crashed in Korea is a very good plane.
Company reputation tarnished in 2024, shares fell
The company's stock price has fallen by more than 30 percent in 2024. The company's reputation for safety was particularly tarnished by the 737 Max crashes. These accidents occurred off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia in a span of less than five months in 2018 and 2019, killing a total of 346 people. Boeing has lost more than $23 billion in the five years since then.

Boeing CEO David Calhoun came under heavy pressure as safety problems grew, leading him to resign as CEO in August. Since January, more than 70,000 Boeing employees have protested and attended meetings to discuss ways to improve safety.
