Boeing settled a lawsuit with a Canadian man, Manant Vaidya, whose parents and sister were killed in the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crash.
The settlement, reached just before trial, involved Boeing accepting full responsibility for the "senseless and preventable loss" of these lives.
The Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash, which killed all 157 on board, was one of two fatal 737 Max incidents linked to the aircraft's faulty Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS).
This agreement is part of several settlements Boeing has made with victims' families, following its acknowledgment of MCAS's role 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.
Attorneys for the plaintiff announced the settlement Wednesday, after jury selection had taken place and just before opening statements were set to begin.
