Boeing’s Chief Aerospace Safety Officer, Mike Delaney, is set to retire later this year after nearly 40 years with the company. A successor will be announced in the coming weeks, as stated in an internal memo from Boeing’s leadership.

Delaney, who took on the role in 2021, played a crucial part in strengthening Boeing’s safety framework, supporting global aviation recovery during the pandemic, and shaping the next generation of commercial aircraft.

His departure comes at a time when the aerospace giant faces heightened scrutiny over safety concerns, including the recent incident involving a door panel detachment on an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9. This event has led to stricter oversight by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Boeing’s management acknowledges Delaney’s contributions and remains focused on reinforcing safety measures as the company navigates industry challenges.
