US airline Alaska Airlines has decided to suspend operations of all its Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft.
After the Boeing 737 MAX 9 plane's window burst and was forced to make an emergency landing, on January 6, the US airline Alaska Airlines decided to suspend the operations of all of its aircraft of this type.
Flight 1282, carrying 174 passengers and 6 crew members, departed from Portland International Airport, Oregon on the evening of January 5 and returned just 20 minutes after a problem shortly after departure. A window and part of the fuselage exploded during the flight, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing.
Images posted on social media later showed a window of the plane gone, while emergency oxygen masks popped out and dangled above the seats. Many passengers said they did not realize what had happened until the masks automatically dropped.
In a statement, Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci stated: “Following the incident with Flight 1282, we have decided to take a precautionary step and temporarily ground our fleet of 65 Boeing 737-9s… Each aircraft will only return to service once it has completed maintenance and safety inspections.”
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash. Online records from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) show that the Boeing 737-9 MAX had been certified two months ago.
Boeing's 737 MAX planes were grounded worldwide after two MAX 8 crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed a total of 346 people.
The FAA only allowed the planes to return to service after Boeing adjusted the planes' flight control systems.
