Boeing Faces $1.85 Billion Loss on Troubled Starliner Program

The aerospace giant struggles with technical issues and financial setbacks while evaluating future commitments.

Boeing's Starliner program has accumulated $1.85 billion in losses due to ongoing technical challenges and delays.
The recent crewed test flight in June faced thruster and helium leak issues, leading to an uncrewed return to Earth.
Boeing's new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, indicates the company will not abandon its fixed-price contracts despite financial losses.
NASA continues to support Starliner's development but has shifted some crew missions to SpaceX due to reliability concerns.
The future of Starliner remains uncertain as Boeing reassesses its portfolio and NASA plans to decommission the ISS by 2030.
