Boeing Company (BA) Boeing 737 MAX Safety Issues Case
E.D. Virginia
Court1:24-cv-00151
Case number10/23/2019
Class period Start01/24/2024
Class period End04/01/2024
Lead Plaintiff motion deadline- $BA stockholder filed a claim vs. Boeing for not disclosing risking flaws in 737 MAX aircraft production.
- The news about the Boeing 737 MAX and FAA grounding order caused $BA to fall 8%, losing $12.1B+ of shareholder value.
On January 5, 2024, a Boeing 737 aircraft operated by Alaska Airlines experienced an in-flight departure of an in-cabin door plug, causing the cabin to become depressurized and forcing an emergency landing.
Following this accident, on January 6, 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a grounding order, stating that
- Boeing 737-9 aircraft will remain grounded until operators complete enhanced inspections which include both left and right cabin door exit plugs, door components, and fasteners
- And that operators must also complete corrective action requirements based on findings from the inspections prior to bringing any aircraft back into service.
On this news, $BA fell 8% and lost over $12.1 billion of its market capitalization, seriously damaging shareholders.
Based on these events, $BA stockholder filed a claim against Boeing and its leaders, accusing them of the following points:
- Boeing misled investors by prioritizing profits over safety in 737 MAX production;
- Concealed risks led to manufacturing flaws and safety concerns, and the news about it damaged shareholders.
Considering all the information, investors might have reasons to suspect Boeing of systemic problems with aircraft safety, which led to their losses.
