Part 8/11:
The conclusion of the Boeing 747 production sees the company facing broader challenges tied to public safety perceptions and financial performance. Following the MAX incident, where poor design and lack of transparency led to catastrophic results, Boeing is currently grappling with a reputation that has shifted from reliability to an increased wariness among would-be passengers.
Boeing is actively responding to these concerns, implementing leadership changes and examining its quality control processes with increased scrutiny. However, reactions to recent incidents suggest that restoring confidence in both safety and production quality may take considerable time and effort.
