Alaska Airlines has grounded its entire fleet of Boeing 737-9 aircraft, including the 737 Max 9 jets, after Flight 1282 experienced a midair blowout of a window and a section of the fuselage, affecting 177 people onboard. The incident occurred shortly after takeoff from Portland, Oregon, and forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing. The blowout happened approximately 3 miles over Oregon. In response, the airline canceled all flights using the Boeing 737 Max 9 model through the following Saturday, impacting an estimated 110 to 150 flights per day. Federal officials, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), have indicated that further maintenance might be required to ensure the safety of these aircraft and have grounded dozens of Boeing 737 Max 9s.
