On April 2, 2025, Boeing's CEO, Kelly Ortberg, is scheduled to testify before the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, in an event that comes under the shadow of significant scrutiny over the company's safety and production practices. This hearing, announced by the committee's chair, Republican Senator Ted Cruz, aims to delve into the measures Boeing has implemented following a series of safety incidents, most notably the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 incident from the previous year, which raised serious questions about the integrity of Boeing's manufacturing processes. The focus of the Senate hearing will be on Boeing's response to the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) safety review, which was prompted by the Alaska Airlines flight where a door panel blew off a 737 MAX 9 mid-flight. This incident endangered passengers and reignited concerns over the safety protocols of Boeing's aircraft, particularly the 737 MAX series, which had previously been grounded worldwide due to two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019.
