WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Nationwide Transportation Security Board stated early Thursday it’s sanctioning Boeing (NYSE:) for disclosing private particulars of the continuing investigation into the Jan. 5 Alaska Airways 737 MAX 9 mid-air emergency.
The NTSB stated Boeing had “blatantly violated” the company’s investigative rules “by offering private investigative info to the media and speculating about doable causes of the Jan. 5 door-plug blowout.”
The NTSB stated Boeing would now not have entry to the investigative info the NTSB produces throughout its investigation and added the planemaker is not going to be allowed to ask questions of different individuals at an investigative listening to on the door-plug blowout in early August.
