Boeing agreed to pay $2.5B to settle criminal charges related to the 737 Max. The charges accused Boeing of concealing information from the Federal Aviation Administration during an investigation into two fatal crashes that killed 346 people in Indonesia (October 2018) and Ethiopia (March 2019). As part of the settlement, Boeing will establish a $500M fund for crash-victim beneficiaries.
Extra: The 737 Max returned to service in the US for the first time in December.
