Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun will step down at the end of the year, the company said in an announcement Monday. The move comes amid fallout from a high-profile safety failure onboard an Alaska Airlines flight in January, when a door plug blew out of Boeing's 737 Max 9 aircraft while the plane was in flight. Board Chair Larry Kellner, a board member for nearly 15 years, plans to forgo nomination for an additional term at the company’s annual shareholder meeting this spring, Boeing said. Steve Mollenkopf, former CEO of chipmaker Qualcomm, will immediately take over as Boeing board chair and lead the search for a new chief executive, Boeing added. #aviation #avgeek #boeing #airbus #studentpilot
