Airline CEOs Seek Meeting with Boeing Board Over Production Issues
Major U.S. airline CEOs have requested a meeting with Boeing's board to address concerns over an Alaska Airlines accident and production issues, seeking a plan to fix quality problems at the aircraft maker. Boeing has agreed to send Chairman Larry Kellner and other board members to meet with the airline leaders as soon as next week. The order backlogs are causing frustration for airline executives, leading to route cuts and efforts to acquire additional aircraft to meet demand.
