Boeing's CEO David Calhoun To Face US Senators' Questions On Plane Safety Amid Ongoing Investigations
Boeing Co.'s (NYSE:BA) CEO, David Calhoun, is set to appear before U.S. senators on Tuesday, where he will be questioned about the company's safety measures amid ongoing investigations.
波音公司（NYSE:BA）的CEO戴維·卡爾霍恩將於週二出現在美國參議員面前，被問及公司在不斷調查中的安全措施。
What Happened: Calhoun is expected to address the Senate investigations subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who has been critical of Boeing, reported ABC News. This will be Calhoun's first appearance before Congress since a 737 Max incident during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.
據ABC News報道，卡爾霍恩將出席由參議員理查德·布盧門撐（D-康州）主持的參議院調查小組，他一直批評波音。這是自1月份阿拉斯加航空公司737 Max事件以來卡爾霍恩首次在國會露面。
The CEO will be questioned about Boeing's recent plan to rectify its manufacturing issues. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are conducting separate investigations into the company's safety culture.
CEO將被詢問波音公司最近糾正其製造問題的計劃。國家運輸安全委員會和聯邦航空管理局正在對該公司的安全文化進行分別調查。
"From the beginning, we took responsibility and cooperated transparently with the NTSB and the FAA. Our culture is far from perfect, but we are taking action and making progress. We are taking comprehensive action today to strengthen safety and quality," Calhoun said in remarks prepared for the hearing.
“從一開始，我們就負起責任，與國家運輸安全委員會和聯邦航空管理局透明合作。我們的企業文化還遠非完美，但我們正在採取行動並取得進展。今天我們正在採取全面的行動來強化安全和質量，” 卡爾霍恩在爲聽證會準備的講話中說。
Blumenthal, who has previously criticized Boeing's safety practices, emphasized the importance of Calhoun's testimony in rebuilding public trust. The Justice Department is also considering whether to prosecute Boeing for violating the terms of a settlement following the fatal crashes.
布盧門撐曾經批評過波音的安全實踐，他強調卡爾霍恩的證言對重建公衆信任至關重要。司法部也在考慮是否起訴波音違反致命墜機事故後達成的和解條件。
Boeing says that the company has taken several steps to address safety concerns, including slowing production, appointing a retired Navy admiral to lead a quality review, and delivering an improvement plan to the FAA. Despite these efforts, the company continues to face challenges, such as the recent FAA investigation into falsely documented titanium parts in its supply chain.
波音表示，該公司已採取多項措施解決安全問題，包括減緩生產速度、指派一名退役海軍上將領導質量審查，並向聯邦航空局提交改進計劃。儘管採取了這些努力，該公司仍然面臨挑戰，例如最近的聯邦航空局調查其供應鏈中虛假記錄的鈦部件。
Why It Matters: Boeing's safety issues have been under scrutiny for some time. In June, the FAA launched an investigation into the authenticity of titanium parts in some of Boeing's aircraft. This investigation could potentially affect the integrity of critical aerospace materials.
爲什麼重要：波音的安全問題已經受到關注一段時間。今年6月，聯邦航空局對波音飛機中鈦部件的真實性進行了調查。這項調查可能會影響重要航空材料的完整性。
Boeing has been grappling with safety concerns for a while. In March, it was announced that Calhoun would resign by the end of 2024, marking a major leadership transition for the aerospace giant. However, the company's safety issues persisted, with a midair panel blowout on a nearly new 737 MAX plane in June further exacerbating the situation.
波音一直在努力克服安全問題。今年3月，宣佈卡爾霍恩將於2024年底辭職，這標誌着這家航空業巨頭的一次重大領導層換血。然而，該公司的安全問題仍然存在，6月份一架近乎全新的737 MAX飛機在空中出現了側板爆炸，進一步加劇了情況。
Despite these challenges, Calhoun received a $32.8 million compensation in 2023, with Boeing stating that the company had paid its outgoing CEO.
儘管面臨這些挑戰，卡爾霍恩在2023年獲得了3280萬美元的薪酬，波音表示該公司已支付即將卸任的CEO。
Price Action: Boeing Co's stock closed at $178.39 on Monday with a gain of 0.63% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock increased slightly by 0.011%. Year to date, the stock has faced a significant decline of 29.14%, according to the data from Benzinga Pro.
股價表現：根據Benzinga Pro的數據，波音公司的股價在週一收於178.39美元，當日上漲了0.63%。盤後交易中，股價略微增長了0.011%。今年以來，股價大幅下跌29.14%。
