Dennis Muilenburg is out as CEO of Boeing, the company announced on Monday. Multiple news organizations are reporting that Boeing's board decided to fire Muilenburg over the weekend.

Muilenburg's departure caps a disastrous year for the aerospace giant. Two deadly crashes of Boeing's new 737 MAX—one in October 2018, the second in March 2019—forced airlines around the world to ground their planes. Investigations revealed that the crashes were due to flaws in the design of the aircraft's Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) software.
