An Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 whose emergency exit door opened during flight may have been missing the bolts needed to secure the door stop during production. This opinion was shared by Boeing representatives from other industry departments familiar with the situation. They noted that this may have happened at the Boeing plant in Renton, Washington, when workers forgot to put back bolts when reinstalling an aircraft door stop after it had been opened or removed during production. It is noted that supplier Spirit AeroSystems delivered the 737 fuselage to the plant with the door stop installed. It was produced at the Spirit plant in Malaysia, and the fuselage was assembled in Wichita, Kansas. Sources told The Wall Street Journal that the fact that the plane took off without bolts was because there were no markings on the door stop. to indicate that the parts were in place when the hatch was opened. They noted that the Renton plant is currently experiencing technology and documentation issues related to Boeing’s work on the door stop. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) conducted an analysis of the door latch, but did not release test results that could show whether the latches were in place during the crisis, the WSJ notes. The Boeing 737 MAX incident occurred on January 6. Then the Alaska Airlines plane made an emergency landing in the American Portland due to a window that flew out during the flight. Later, the US Federal Aviation Administration introduced a temporary ban on flights of Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft. According to FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker, the airline did not control the airliners during the flight and will be able to use them to transport passengers. Some time later, Boeing CEO David Calhoun admitted a mistake with the 737 MAX airliners.
