Washington, April 4, 2024 (TASR) – The American aviation giant Boeing has been forced to dig deep into its pockets to compensate Alaska Air for an incident involving a missing door on a Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft. The price tag for this mistake? A record-breaking $160 million USD!

The incident occurred in January, when one of the side panels of the plane tore off shortly after takeoff. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the plane had to make an emergency landing. This incident caused a stir, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered a thorough investigation. They subsequently grounded 171 B-737 MAX 9 aircraft with a similar configuration.

While Alaska Air has received $160 million, it is still expecting further compensation. Boeing now finds itself in a turbulent zone, facing not only financial losses but also reputational damage.

Interesting Facts:

  • $160 million would be enough to purchase 2 Boeing 737 Max 9s.
  • The incident with the missing door is reminiscent of the problems with the 737 Max model that led to its grounding in 2019.
  • Boeing is facing multiple lawsuits related to 737 Max accidents.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of the 737 Max model and has put Boeing under intense scrutiny. It remains to be seen how the company will recover from this crisis and regain the trust of its customers and the aviation industry.
