Boeing settled a lawsuit with a Canadian man whose parents and sister were among the 157 victims of the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crash.
The settlement was reached just before opening statements were to begin, with Boeing accepting full responsibility for the "senseless and preventable" loss of life.
Investigators linked the crash, one of two fatal 737 Max incidents, to the aircraft's faulty Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS).
This agreement follows Boeing's non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. government and other out-of-court settlements with crash victims' families.
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.
