US EditionUS Judge Cancels Planned Boeing Trial over 737 Crashes
- A U.S. Federal judge cancelled the planned June 23, 2025, criminal trial of Boeing in Fort Worth, Texas, over 737 MAX crashes that killed nearly 350 people.
- The cancellation followed a preliminary settlement reached last month to resolve a long-running Justice Department probe into Boeing's alleged fraud during the MAX aircraft certification.
- The agreement requires Boeing to pay $1.1 billion and includes a dismissal of the criminal fraud charge without Boeing pleading guilty, while some victim families condemned the deal as unfair.
- The Justice Department characterized the agreement as an equitable settlement that benefits the public by delivering immediate gains and mitigating the risks associated with prolonged litigation, particularly in light of safety issues that emerged after the 2021 deal.
- Judge Reed O'Connor must approve the settlement and could reschedule the trial if he rejects the deal, which reflects ongoing tensions after crashes that damaged Boeing's reputation and triggered leadership changes.
