$3.1M Boeing Fine Paid Over Safety Violations on 737-9 Max Aircraft
Boeing has settled a safety fine related to an incident on one of its planes. In January 2024, a door plug blew out on an Alaska Airlines-operated 737-9 Max aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposed fines against Boeing in September 2025 for $3,139,319.
The penalties covered safety violations from September 2023 through February 2024, including the door plug incident and 'interference with safety officials' independence,' the FAA said.
