Boeing,CEO,Seattle

A new chief executive takes over at Boeing on Thursday, and he plans to walk the floor of the factory near Seattle.

FILE - The Boeing 777X airplane is shown at the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, north of Paris, France, on June 19, 2023.

The National Transportation Safety Board just wrapped up a two-day hearing on the 737 Max that suffered a blowout of a panel in the side of the plane during an Alaska Airlines flight in January. The board's investigators have interviewed workers at the 737 factory in Renton, Washington, who say they are under too much pressure to produce planes quickly, leading to mistakes.

Boeing is a century-old aviation innovator with roots in Seattle, although the headquarters moved to Chicago and then to the Washington, D.C., area. The new CEO is planting a symbolic flag in the ground back in the Pacific Northwest.
