The Department of Justice has reportedly opened a new probe into the Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines flight blowout resulting in an emergency landing, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly opening a probe into the Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines blowout, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal.
Investigators have reportedly contacted several passengers and crew members on the Jan. 5 flight, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing „documents and people familiar with the matter.“
„In an event like this, it’s normal for the DOJ to be conducting an investigation. We are fully cooperating and do not believe we are a target of the investigation,“ Alaska Airlines told Fox News Digital in an email statement.
The article stated the probe would „inform the Justice Department’s review of whether Boeing complied with an earlier settlement that resolved a federal investigation“ as a result of two fatal incidents involving Boeing 737 Max jets in 2018 and 2019.
