Boeing Co has reached settlement agreements in more than 90% of the wrongful death claims filed in federal court after the 2018 crash of a Lion Air 737 MAX in Indonesia that killed all 189 people on board, a court filing on Tuesday said. That includes 140 of the 150 claims filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The company did not disclose how much it paid victims’ families or estates. In 2019, Reuters reported that some Lion Air cases had been settled for at least $1.2 million per claim. “We extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of all those onboard Lion Air Flight 610,” the spokesman, Gordon Johndroe, said by email.
