Boeing overwrote surveillance footage of door plug repair, NTSB chair says
Quick Glance: Alaska Airlines Flight Maintenance and Safety
  • Alaska Airlines flight 1282, on which a door plug blew off the side of the plane shortly after takeoff on January 5, was scheduled to be taken out of service for maintenance the same day, according to the airline.

  • The National Transportation Safety Board found that Boeing probably did not put required bolts in the door plug to prevent that part from blowing off the plane.

  • NTSB discovered that concerns with warning lights led Alaska Airlines to restrict the plane from carrying passengers on long-haul routes over water.

  • While the maintenance schedule alignment does not necessarily implicate Alaska Airlines, it does raise further concerns regarding the maintenance policies and regulations of America's fleet.

Quick Glance: Boeing Plans Acquisition of Spirit Aero and Delays Production Hikes
  • Boeing is in talks to buy its former subsidiary Spirit AeroSystems and is delaying plans to increase 737 aircraft production due to a crisis triggered by a mid-air incident.

  • Boeing is struggling with quality issues resulting from years of decentralization of production capacities and loss of experienced workers. Reintegrating Spirit AeroSystems could address some of these quality problems and give Boeing more manufacturing control.

  • The US Federal Aviation Administration has prevented Boeing from increasing 737 MAX production, leading Boeing to postpone production increases until 2024 and 2025.

  • Spirit AeroSystems is facing cash flow problems and quality issues with fuselages for Boeing's 737 narrowbody jets. The opportunity to acquire Spirit could help Boeing address these issues.
