		</div><p>Boeing has replaced the head of its commercial airplanes division as it struggles with a crisis created by two deadly crashes of its newest airliner.</p>
<p>Boeing said on Tuesday that Kevin McAllister is out as chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.</p>
<p>He is being replaced by Stanley Deal, leader of Boeing’s services division.</p>
<p>The shake-up in Boeing’s top ranks comes just days after the release of internal communications that showed a senior test pilot experienced serious problems while testing flight-control software for the 737 Max on a simulator.</p>

<p>That software, called MCAS, is at the centre of investigations into two crashes that killed 346 people and led to grounding of the Max.</p>
<p>Boeing is taking much longer than executives expected to change the software and get the plane flying again.</p>
<p>Boeing announced two other promotions, including a replacement for Mr Deal, who has led Boeing Global Services since the division was created in 2016.</p>
<p>Mr McAllister was recruited from General Electric Co’s jet-engine operation to run Boeing’s biggest division in 2016, just months before the 737 Max went into service.</p>
<p>Boeing did not specify whether he quit or was fired.</p>
<p><em>“The Boeing board fully supports these leadership moves,”</em> chairman David Calhoun said in a prepared statement.</p>
<p>Mr Calhoun himself is new in his position.</p>
<p>Chief executive Dennis Muilenburg also served as company chairman until the board stripped him of that job and elevated Mr Calhoun two weeks ago.</p>
<p>In a statement, Mr Muilenburg thanked Mr McAllister for his service “during a challenging time, and for his commitment to support this transition”.</p>
<p>Boeing took a 5.6 billion US dollar pretax charge this summer to cover its estimate for compensating airlines that have cancelled thousands of flights because of grounded planes.</p>
<p>It has disclosed nearly three billion US dollars in other additional costs related to the grounding.</p>
<p>The company faces dozens of lawsuits by families of passengers killed in the Max crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.</p>
<p>It is also the subject of investigations by the US Justice Department and US Congress.</p>
<p>Chicago-based Boeing Co is scheduled to report its latest financial results on Wednesday.</p>
