it s clear a section of fuselage equivalent to one window frame area in the row of seats affected. i would stress at this point, we know very little except that has happened, the aircraft was able to safely land. there would have been an element of depressurisation, although the aircraft was at a lower than cruising altitude, apparently it was at about 16,000 feet that s roughly half of what an airline would be cruising at during the flight. but nevertheless they needed to get the plane down safely, which fortunately was done with all lives protected. i would stress as well that while we know little apart from the information and the evidence we have seen of this window frame that s come out or the fuselage section around the window, i should say this is certainly nothing to do with the reason for the aircraft being grounded for that 18 month period you mentioned. that was to do with software on a flight control system in the cockpit. it was a very major issue which has been full

seats affected, i must stress they know it s happened, the aircraft was able to safely land but it would have been an element of depressurisation with lower cruising altitude of 16,000 feet that s harshly what an airline would be cruising during the flight. they needed to get the plane down safely which fortunately was done with all eyes protected. but while we know little about the information of the evidence we have seen of this window frame that s come out of the fuselage section of the plane, this has nothing to do with the reason to be grounded. that was to do with software on a flight control system being defective. it was a major issue which has been fully resolved
the fuselage section of the plane, this has nothing to do with the reason for it being grounded. that was to do with software on a flight control system in the cockpit being defective. it was a major issue which has been fully resolved and now hundreds of his aircrafts around the world operated safely. it is understandable looking at the photographic evidence that alaska is taking a naturally cautious approach by grounding their fleet. we will have to see in the coming hours what happens in terms of more directives issued by the us regulatory authority. after that 2019 incident, there s been nothing of this magnitude since then. plain sailing for this particular airline.
