17 passengers on Alaska Airlines flight 1282 joined a request for class action against the air carrier and Boeing after a door plug blew out during the flight.
Hours after an Alaska Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Portland, Ore., when a door plug blew out, passengers received an email from the carrier. It was an apology, a full refund for the aborted flight, and $1,500 “to assist with any inconveniences.” Travelers on Flight 1282 are now grappling with whether this amount adequately covers what they endured.
An All Nippon Airways flight was forced to turn back to its departure airport after a crack was discovered in a cockpit window of the Boeing 737 aircraft.
The class-action lawsuit seeks compensation for 171 passengers who suffered physical injuries and emotional distress when the flight's door plug blew off on Jan. 5.
