07:09 AM EDT, 10/11/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Boeing's ( BA ) plea deal will be heard on Friday to consider objections from relatives of people killed in two Boeing 737 MAX crashes, Reuters reported Friday.

U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor may decide immediately whether to accept an agreement for Boeing ( BA ) to plead guilty to conspiring to defraud regulators or rule on it later, the report said.

Families of the crash victims have argued that the plea deal does not do enough to hold Boeing ( BA ) and its executives accountable for the incident.

Boeing ( BA ) and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
