American aircraft manufacturer Boeing has paid Alaska Airlines the equivalent of $160 million (around SEK 1.7 billion) after a door plug came loose from a plane three months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The money will cover both losses, lost revenue and service costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alaska Airlines says it expects additional compensation without specifying an amount because the settlement is confidential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a court document, the airline states that it expects a loss of between $1.05 and $1.15 per share in the first quarter and that 95 cents of the loss per share is due to the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was on January 5 that an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing after a door plug came loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one was injured in the accident. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) concluded in its investigation in February that missing bolts were the cause of the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
