Boeing is handling the 737 Max 9 crisis 'much, much better' than previous scandals, the boss of the world's top airline trade group says

• Willie Walsh, director general of IATA, said he was confident in Boeing's leadership amid the 737 Max 9 saga.
• "I think they've responded much, much better to this than other events," Walsh said.
• Boeing has faced public criticism from a number of airline CEOs since the mid-air blowout of a door plug in January.

Boeing received some much-needed support from the head of the foremost airline trade group on Monday, Reuters reported.
