Boeing settled a lawsuit with Manant Vaidya, a Canadian man whose parents and sister were killed in the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crash, just before the trial was set to begin.
Boeing accepted full responsibility for the "senseless and preventable" loss of lives in the incident, which was one of two fatal 737 Max crashes linked to the aircraft's Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS).
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, aligning with Boeing's previous out-of-court settlements for other cases related to the 737 Max crashes and a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. government.
Boeing on Tuesday agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by a Canadian man whose parents and sister were killed in a 737 Max crash in Ethiopia in 2019.
