In this episode of  my new series Aviation News, I cover major or even minor Aviation News WORLDWIDE in my goal to discuss the industry & keep you up to date on any relevant happenings in the aviation industry...

Today's video will  be discussing an @AlaskaAirlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 Plug Door exploded off Alaska flight 1282 from Portland to Ontario (KPDX-KONT) earlier this morning January 6-2024, (At the time of this publication) *The Plug Door by the way is on the Alaska 737 MAX 9 because the B737 MAX 9 can hold up to 193 passengers so according to airline regulators an extra Emergency Exit woul be required however, the Alaska MAX 9 only holds 179 passengers this didn’t require a HEAVY & EXSPENSIVE Emergency Exit Door so a Plug Door was installed to”Plug The Hole in the fuselage*

The IMMEDIATE failing caused a RAPID DECOMPRESSION* and and necessitated an Emergency Landing back at Portland International Airport (KPDX) Luckily no one was injured in this accident however, following this incident Alaska Airlines preventatively *GROUNDED THEIR ENTIRE 737 MAX 9 fleet* (The only variant they currently fly) until the cause of this incident can be found and determine if this is an isolated incident or a sign of much further trouble and further problems for the #737MAX family. 
Also if the issue may impact other MAX operators too such as @AmericanAirlines @united & @SouthwestAir as well as if @Boeing will need to make design changes or any recommendations to the MAX family.  Hopefully, this is an isolated incident and the #737MAX is still safe to fly and that Alaska can soon find the problem and re-certify it to once again fly with Alaska Airlines.
