Boeing counts down again to its first astronaut launch on a long-delayed test flight for NASA
Boeing took another crack Saturday at launching astronauts for the first time aboard its new space capsule, after a delay for leak checks and rocket repairs. The company’s Starliner capsule was due to rocket away at midday with a pair of test pilots to the International Space Station for a weeklong stay. The test drive should have happened years ago.

Families of those who died in Boeing crashes press the Justice Department to prosecute the company
Relatives of passengers who died in two jetliner crashes pushed federal officials Friday to prosecute Boeing on criminal charges related to the accidents no later than this fall but said they got no commitment from the Justice Department. The Justice Department determined two weeks ago that Boeing violated terms of a settlement that let the company avoid prosecution for deceiving regulators who approved the Boeing 737 Max. Prosecutors have said they will announce by July 7 whether the company will face sanctions. Boeing agreed in 2021 to pay $2.5 billion — mostly compensation to airlines — to avoid prosecution on a fraud charge.

Striking Canadian Safran workers make new offer to avert lengthy walkout, union says
Striking Montreal-area Safran workers who make components for landing gear used in Airbus and Boeing jets have made a counter offer that could avert a longer dispute, a union official told Reuters on Friday. Workers who produce forgings for the landing gear used in aircraft like Airbus's A320 family and A350 jets, along with Boeing's 787, began a seven-day strike on Tuesday and are ready to walk off the job indefinitely if they don't reach a deal, union local president Michael Durand said.
