Boeing’s shares closed 4.8% lower on June 12 after the tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad. The Boeing 787 crash significantly impacted Boeing’s shares.  The crash creates a major setback for the company as the share price fell to around $202.78. Shares of Spirit AeroSystems (SPR.N), a key supplier, and GE Aerospace (GE.N), which makes engines for the jet, also fell about 2% each.

Market update on the aerospace giants after the crash significantly impacted Boeing’s shares

The aerospace giant had been up over 20% this year with a massive turnaround. The company was recovering after several key accomplishments recently, and the new CEO of Boeing, Kelly Ortberg, had been set to head to the Paris Air Show to rebuild trust following a series of safety and production crises.

However, everything changed as the company now focuses on the investigation into the first-ever Boeing 787 crash, and the crash significantly impacted Boeing’s shares. Boeing’s outstanding debt also sold off modestly after the plane crash.

Ortberg wrote in a message:

As our industry prepares to start the Paris Air Show, Stephanie (Pope) and I have both cancelled plans to attend so we can be with our team and focus on our customer and the investigation.

Ortberg also told employees that:

Safety is foundational to our industry and is at the core of everything that we do. Our technical experts are prepared to assist investigators to understand the circumstances, and a Boeing team stands ready to travel to India.

Before the crash, executives of Air India had shown greater confidence in Boeing and the leadership of Ortberg after years of reputational damage to the aircraft manufacturing giant.

In the Nasdaq premarket session, GE Aerospace, which allegedly manufactured the engine for Boeing’s doomed aircraft, saw its share price fell 1.75% to hover at $236. Following the event, GE Aerospace closed the day more than 2% down at $239.99 per share.

Although the precise reason for the accident is still unknown, a number of experts have noted that the stock may have been volatile due to the probability that GE Aerospace’s engine failure was the cause. Douglas Harned, a Bernstein analyst, pointed out that GE Aerospace’s GEnx-1B engine malfunction was the cause of the aircraft’s abrupt drop shortly after takeoff.

The background

On Thursday, only minutes after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, an Air India Boeing 787-8 headed for London crashed. Of the 242 passengers, 241 perished. The only individual who amazingly survived the collision was a U.K. national. Ten individuals, including four medical students, were killed when the tail part of the plane slammed into the hostel mess at BJ Medical College in Meghaninagar.

Shortly after taking off at 1:30 p.m., according to officials, aircraft AI 171 lost altitude before crashing and igniting in a raging fire that sent thick black smoke columns spiralling upward. Shortly after takeoff, the pilot made a “mayday” distress call, indicating a complete emergency, according to the Ahmedabad ATC.
