Emirates President Tim Clark threw his support behind Boeing Co.’s leadership as the manufacturer works through a crisis of confidence triggered by a near-catastrophic accident, saying the company understands what needs to be fixed and that the reintegration of a key supplier is a step in the right direction.

“I think Calhoun and his colleagues are on it,” Clark told journalists in Berlin, referring to Boeing Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun. “This is so urgent. If we had any issue like this we’d take the company apart, we wouldn’t sleep. You’re expected to do the right thing.”
