DENVER—A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by 20 people who sued Boeing Co. after a Continental Airlines jet made by the company veered off a Denver runway in 2008.
The dismissal was entered in U.S. District Court in Denver on Monday.
The parties had said in January that a settlement was reached. Court documents don’t include details of the settlement.
Passengers sued after a Houston-bound Boeing 737 veered off a Denver International Airport runway and into a ravine, where it caught fire in December 2008. Six people were seriously injured, and dozens of others had minor injuries.
The plaintiffs contended that Boeing negligently designed or manufactured parts of the plane. In December, a judge chastised plaintiffs’ attorneys for seeking more time to build their case.
