Boeing has secured a major legal victory after a federal jury in Seattle ruled in favor of the aerospace giant in a civil fraud lawsuit filed by LOT Polish Airlines over the controversial 737 MAX aircraft program.
The lawsuit, brought by the Warsaw-based airline, accused Boeing of intentionally concealing critical information related to the aircraft’s Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), a flight-control software later linked to two deadly crashes involving Lion Air in 2018 and Ethiopian Airlines in 2019. The incidents led to the worldwide grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX fleet for nearly 20 months and triggered intense regulatory scrutiny across the aviation industry.
LOT Polish Airlines sought approximately $153 million in damages, arguing that the prolonged grounding of the aircraft caused significant operational disruptions, financial losses, and scheduling challenges for its fleet operations. However, after a two-week trial and roughly three hours of jury deliberation, the U.S. District Court jury found Boeing not liable for fraud.
A Boeing spokesperson welcomed the verdict, stating the company was pleased with the jury’s decision. Meanwhile, LOT Polish Airlines acknowledged the outcome but indicated that additional legal action remains possible. The airline noted that it would refrain from commenting further while legal options are still under consideration.
The ruling marks another important chapter in the ongoing legal and financial fallout surrounding the Boeing 737 MAX crisis. In 2021, Boeing agreed to a $2.5 billion deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to settle criminal allegations tied to claims that the company misled the Federal Aviation Administration during the aircraft’s certification process.
Boeing shares closed slightly lower on Friday, with investors continuing to monitor developments involving the aerospace manufacturer and the broader aviation sector.
