"Alaska Airlines Faces $1B Lawsuit After Pets' Flight Arrives with Open Cargo Door"

An Alaska Airlines flight arrived at an airport gate in Portland, Ore. with its cargo door open, carrying passengers' pets, although none of the animals were injured. The airline stated that there was no indication to the crew that the door was unsealed during the flight and that maintenance teams have since inspected and repaired the door. This incident comes amid a $1B lawsuit against both Boeing and Alaska Airlines over plane safety, and follows a previous incident in January where a door plug blew off mid-air during a flight. Additionally, a Boeing 737 MAX 9 rolled off a runway at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, forcing all passengers to evacuate.
