Boeing has ousted the CEO of its troubled space and defence division, marking a significant move by the company's new CEO to steer the organization in a different direction. This leadership shake-up is seen as an effort to address ongoing challenges within the division, which has faced numerous setbacks and criticisms over recent projects and performance.

Simultaneously, Boeing is grappling with a strike initiated by its factory workers, which shows no signs of resolution after its first week. A spokesperson for Boeing stated on Friday that the company’s goal is to reach a mutually beneficial agreement, though the impasse continues to impact operations significantly.

Adding to this period of change for Boeing, the company has also engaged in high-level international diplomacy. A top Vietnamese leader recently met with the President of Boeing Global in New York during the UN Summit of the Future. This meeting underscores Boeing's ongoing efforts to reinforce its global partnerships and strategic presence amidst challenging times domestically.
