The article provides a detailed overview of operational safety issues and key incidents involving Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that occurred between 2019 and 2025. It examines global flight bans and the recent incident with Alaska Airlines Flight 1282. The purpose of the study is to assess the direct and indirect impact of these events on Boeing's key financial indicators (revenue, net profit, supply volumes and order portfolio). Special attention is paid to identifying systemic deficiencies in the company's production processes and quality control (the current state is "as it is") and analyzing the measures proposed by Boeing and regulatory authorities to eliminate and improve them (the "how will it be" concept). This work is aimed not only at analyzing the consequences of crises, but also at formulating recommendations to restore trust and improve operational efficiency.
