WASHINGTON — Boeing settled two lawsuits regarding the deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash from 2019 on the eve of a scheduled civil trial. The settlement was made just hours before jury selection was set to be underway.

Boeing has reached out-of-court settlements with the families of Antoine Lewis and Darcy Belengar, who were among the 157 killed in the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in March 2019. The crash, together with Lion Air Flight 610, has forced Boeing into hundreds of settlements with the victims’ families over the last six years.
