Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg will not attend the Paris Air Show this week.
A recent Reuters report stated Ortberg told staff Thursday evening that he and a fellow Boeing executive canceled plans to attend the event scheduled for Monday through Friday.
The decision was made “so we can be with our team and focus on our customer and the investigation,” Ortberg’s message to staff stated, according to Reuters.
