What happened
Ryan Weir, who previously served as sales chief for Boeing in South Asia, is set to succeed Brad McMullen as the jetliner sales chief. This transition occurs as Boeing secured its first order race victory against Airbus in seven years. The company noted that these deals were buoyed by foreign visits made by Donald Trump.

Why it matters
The shift in sales leadership at Boeing comes as the company works toward a commercial recovery following a 2024 incident. While Boeing has seen a surge in orders for its 787 jet, it continues to lag Airbus in the market for long-range narrowbody jets.
