Boeing Co. Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg finds himself in a painfully familiar role as he faces another crisis, this time over a crash involving the company’s marquee 787 Dreamliner jet in India that killed more than 240 people.
Air India plane crash investigators reportedly find the first of the "black boxes" from the Boeing 787-8 that slammed into buildings, killing all but one of the 242 people on board.
Only one passenger survived after an Air India plane that crashed carrying 242 people shortly after takeoff near Ahmedabad in western India on Thursday, Indian officials said, after local police said they feared there would likely be no survivors from the incident.
The flight, which crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad in India en route to London Gatwick, was carrying 242 passengers and crew.
The accident happened just weeks after the company cut a deal with the U.S. government to avoid taking criminal responsibility for a pair of deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.
