One year since the dramatic door blowout onboard an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9, public opinion on the aircraft is still divided, according to a report from Komo News. While many passengers would have no qualms about flying on the 737 MAX 9, others are more wary, citing safety concerns.

Alaska Airlines will begin a daily nonstop flight to Medford, Oregon through Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport starting May 15.

A nascent recovery from Boeing’s troubles stalled in the fall when a 52-day Machinists union strike stopped almost all Boeing jet production in its Puget Sound assembly plants.

Boeing delivered 348 aircraft last year — less than half Airbus managed and the lowest since the pandemic. The new CEO has a mountain to climb.

A year after a door plug blew out of a nearly new Boeing 737 Max 9, the manufacturer is outlining the progress it has made.

Sunday marks one year since an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 had its door plug blown out in midair on Jan. 5, 2024 on its trip from PDX to Ontario, California.

Last year had hardly begun before a high-profile door plug blowout on a Boeing 737 MAX on an Alaska Airlines flight raised renewed safety and quality concerns at Boeing. Slowing 737 MAX deliveries is one of the last things Boeing wants to do and the last thing airlines wish to see,

Boeing had a decent orderbook in December to cap a very bad year. But its deliveries for the month show it continues to struggle to rebound from the crippling strike earlier in the fall.

The FAA sent inspectors to production facilities and conducted an in-depth audit of the production line, simultaneously ordering Boeing “to develop a comprehensive plan to fix its systemic production quality problems,” Whitaker noted in his blog. Soon after the incident, the FAA also emphasized an employee whistleblower hotline.
