Boeing replaces head of commercial aircraft division

Boeing has replaced the head of its commercial aeroplanes division, marking the most significant leadership change in the wake of 2 deadly 737 Max crashes. The jet maker said Tuesday that Stan Deal would succeed Kevin McAllister, president and CE of Boeing Commercial Airplanes since 2016, effective immediately. Deal was previously president and CE of Boeing’s global services unit. McAllister was poached by CE Dennis Muilenburg in 2016 from GE, where he was head of its aviation business. He was a rare outside hire for Boeing and was put in charge of its commercial aircraft business with a mission to shake up and modernise production, as well as generate greater revenue form after sales service. However, he was also the executive responsible for resolving the problems with the 737. <br/>
