Boeing Tells US Justice Department It Didn’t Violate Deal After 737 Max Crashes

Boeing Co. told the US Justice Department that it disagrees with a government finding that the aircraft maker failed to live up to a compliance agreement put in place following two fatal plane crashes half a decade ago, according to people familiar with the matter.

Boeing issued its response on Wednesday to the Justice Department’s determination last month that the company breached a 2021 deferred-prosecution agreement, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing a sensitive matter.
