>Boeing CEO steps down
波音CEO辭職新帥上任

Boeing's Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg has resigned from his position and current chairman David Calhoun was named by the board of directors as his successor, the US aircraft manufacturer said on Monday. Boeing said Calhoun would take over as the new chief executive and president as of Jan 13, 2020, and he will remain a member of the board.
美國(guó)飛機(jī)制造商波音公司23日宣布，其首席執(zhí)行官丹尼斯·米倫伯格已辭職，董事會(huì)已任命現(xiàn)任董事長(zhǎng)大衛(wèi)·卡爾霍恩為首席執(zhí)行官兼總裁，該任命自2020年1月13日起生效。波音稱，卡爾霍恩將繼續(xù)擔(dān)任董事會(huì)成員。

It also said board member Lawrence Kellner will become non-executive chairman of the board effective immediately.
此外，董事會(huì)成員勞倫斯·凱爾納將立即擔(dān)任董事會(huì)非執(zhí)行主席。

"A change in leadership was necessary to restore confidence in the company moving forward as it works to repair relationships with regulators, customers, and all other stakeholders," the company said. Boeing's commercially best seller 737 MAX has been grounded globally in March 2019 in the wake of the two deadly air crashes.

The US Federal Aviation Administration said earlier this month that it would not re-certify the aircraft for resumed service until 2020, which crushed Boeing's hope of getting the plane cleared for flight before the end of this year.
本月早些時(shí)候，美國(guó)聯(lián)邦航空管理局宣布，波音737MAX的復(fù)飛流程要到2020年才能完成。這意味著，波音737MAX在今年年底前重新投入運(yùn)營(yíng)的希望落空。
