Alaska Air receives further compensation from Boeing over 737 Max grounding

Friday, 03 May, 2024 0

Alaska Airlines has received further compensation from Boeing over the temporary grounding of its 737 Max 9 fleet.

The plane maker gave Alaska Air $61 million in credit memos as compensation.

This is in addition to the $162 million in cash it received from Boeing earlier this year.

The credit memos can be used for further Boeing aircraft orders.

The Boeing 737 Max 9 grounding happened in January after a door panel blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight.

This prompted the FAA to impose a grounding on all Max 9 aircraft which lasted about three weeks.

The airline has since returned all its Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft to service.
