Boeing fired CEO Dennis Muilenburg on Monday after a string of malfunctions in Boeing’s 737 Max airliner led to the worst year on record for the plane-maker.

Boeing’s chairman David Calhoun will replace Muilenburg as CEO, the company said. The aircraft company decided to fire Muilenburg after he was unable to pull it out of one of the most tumultuous times in its history.
