Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun is planning to meet with a group of senators on Capitol Hill this week as the company deals with the 737 Max 9 grounding in the wake of an accident in which a plane’s plug door panel blew off in mid-air earlier this month, according to a report by Reuters.
Calhoun is expected to meet with Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mark Warner, D-Va., as well as other lawmakers in Congress, sources told Reuters.
Cruz is a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation which has jurisdiction over the aviation industry.
