US aviation giant Boeing is set to part company with the vice-president of its 737 MAX program, Ed Clark. The new models of 737s were recently cleared to fly again after their second grounding in the last few years.

The vice-president of Boeing’s 737 MAX program, Ed Clark, is set to leave the US aviation giant amid a leadership team reshuffle, the company said on Wednesday.
Clark, the head of Boeing’s 737 jetliner program, has been at the company for 18 years.
He will be replaced as vice-president and general manager of the 737 program by Katie Ringgold.
The move comes with Boeing still under scrutiny after a mid-air blowout on one of its 737 MAX 9 aircraft in January.
The US aviation regulator said in January that the 737 MAX 9 can start flying again, however it told Boeing toput plans to expand production of the model on ice and keep production rates at their current levels.
The planes were also grounded for more than a year in most of the world between 2019 and 2020 following a pair of crashes.
The MAX models, several of which have gone into production, are the latest in Boeing’s long-running 737 series of planes, which are the company’s top selling type of aircraft by volume.
