NTSB Begins Hearings on Alaska Airlines Door Plug Incident

Witness List and Agenda Released

The National Transportation Safety Board is set to begin hearings on August 6 and 7 regarding the January 2024 occurrence of the door plug blowout on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 shortly after departing Portland, Oregon.

The hearings are open to the public and are part of the continuing investigation into the causes of the accident. They are fact-finding in nature and will become part of the public record.

In the accident, the left mid exit door plug separated from the aircraft at an altitude of about 16,000 feet MSL during the flight’s climb to cruise, causing a rapid decompression. The flight crew immediately returned to Portland and landed safely with several minor injuries reported from among the 177 passengers and crew aboard.

Hearing witnesses will be representing the following entities:

  • Federal Aviation Administration
  • Boeing Commercial Airplanes
  • Spirit AeroSystems
  • International Association of Machinists

The hearings will be livestreamed at the second link below, and a video recording of the proceedings will be available on the NTSB website for 30 days.
