As a precautionary measure after a mid-air emergency, Alaska Airlines has decided to temporarily suspend the operations of its complete fleet, consisting of 65 Boeing 737-9 aircraft.
This decision comes in response to an incident on Friday night, where a window blew out mid-air shortly after takeoff from Portland International Airport en route to Ontario, California.

In 2021, the DOJ charged Boeing
with fraud for misleading
regulators regarding the 737 MAX.
However, prosecutors went on to accept
an agreement that could see felony charges
against Boeing dropped in three years.
'Newsweek' reports that the DOJ reopened the
possibility of prosecuting Boeing in May,
claiming the company breached the original 2021 deal.
Now, the DOJ has until July 7
to determine whether it will
file charges against Boeing.
Families of those who died in the two Boeing crashes
have pushed for high-ranking Boeing officials to be
prosecuted and the company to be fined $24 billion.
We want to find
some meaning in
what happened
to our loved ones. , Ike Riffel, father of two Boeing 737 crash victims, via 'Newsweek'.
If we can make aviation
safer so this doesn't
happen again, then
we have had some
victories out of this, Ike Riffel, father of two Boeing 737 crash victims, via 'Newsweek'
