Boeing Paid Alaska Airlines $160 Million To Compensate For The 737 Max 9 Grounding

As much of the world knows by now, an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 was forced to divert following a blowout of an exit door plug in January. There were no fatalities on flight 1282, but several passengers filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer, and airlines said they would demand compensation from Boeing over the grounding. The backlash from the blowout has been severe, even leading to significant leadership changes at Boeing. We’re now learning about ONE of the ways Boeing has compensated one of its customers…

American decided to order the Max 10....April's fool😂😂😂😂

Unfortunately operations at Boeing won't change unless something tragic happens with their planes within the United States

This accident wasn’t tragic?

@@jwil4286 compared to what happened to Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air, this incident is kind of mid. those incidents involved loss of everyone.

You mean like the Lion Air and Ethiopian crashes 5-6 years ago? If that didn’t wake them up nothing will.

You know how many airplanes are "aerodynamically unstable"?

Without any numbers to compare it to its hsrd to say if 160M is enough or not. But it seems low considering 60 unavailable aircraft and brand damage

How much for Southwest Airlines 738NG engine cowling? 😅😅😅

[@aviationphu9603]

That’s not really Boeing fault the person who was working on the engine didn’t close the engine cowlings correctly

[@MarkUKInsects]

@@aviationphu9603 If it could be done incorrectly, it's a design fault. just like the MD DC-10 Cargo door issue. But this one could GE and not Boeing?

[@erauprcwa]

That has nothing to do with Boeing

[@RonPiggott]

What is the reputation harm to Alaska? How much money did Alaska loose? what lost income did pilots loose?

[@jonathanj8303]

65 planes were grounded. They had to pay the leases/depreciation on those planes, while not running the services and compensating passengers who'd bought tickets couldn't fly. All that loses money.

[@jantjarks7946]

I'm always surprised how little people know. Even though I should know better.
😁😉

[@keith_5584]

Lets be real about this. The INSURANCE company lowballed them, and then said if its more you have to prove it. Sometimes the Insured wants to do the right thing, but cant because they will get dropped.

[@4evertrue830]

It should be enough compensation at least no body was got injured or died. The airline is asking for more greedily.

[@xskrym]

What compensation will passengers literally playing Russian roulette by flying on Boeing planes get?
