Boeing Faces Civil Trial Over Ethiopian Airlines Crash Amid Ongoing Legal Battles
Boeing is gearing up for a civil trial next week in Chicago regarding the Ethiopian Airlines crash of March 2019 that resulted in 157 fatalities. This trial marks Boeing’s first related to the 737 MAX incidents, with only one plaintiff remaining as others have settled. The plaintiff’s family seeks justice for Manisha Nukavarapu, a medical student who perished in the crash. Although Boeing has stated it accepts responsibility for the MAX crashes, additional trials are anticipated, with 30 cases still pending. The company has faced significant legal repercussions, settling many claims since the tragedies.
