Boeing sanctioned by NTSB over release of 737 Max probe details


The agency said Thursday that Boeing had “blatantly violated” its regulations by providing information that hadn’t been cleared for release and speculating about the cause of the mid-air door plug blowout.

Boeing will face sanctions after breaking an agreement by disclosing details of an investigation into the 737 Max 9 door panel that blew out in mid-air, the National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday. The Alaska Airlines Flight lost a door panel Jan. 5 while traveling at 16,000 feet, some 10 minutes before its scheduled arrival time in Portland, Oregon. The mishap plunged Boeing into crisis and raised ongoing questions about safety concerns on other aircraft models, now the subject of multiple federal investigations.
