The outgoing Federal Aviation Administration chief believes the government has dramatically reset its once-troubled relationship with Boeing Co. and that new safety processes put into place will prevent the kind of failures that led to the fatal 737 Max crashes.

Steve Dickson, who will step down on Thursday, said his interactions with Boeing executives are very different from when he took office in 2019 when the Max was grounded.
