FAA seeks $165,000 penalty after Alaska Airlines allegedly boarded intoxicated passengers

The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a $165,000 civil penalty against Alaska Airlines for allegedly letting intoxicated passengers board 11 flights between February 2024 and February 2025, a violation of safety rules. Alaska Airlines says it cooperated with an FAA audit and has since implemented changes including enhanced crew and staff training. The airline has 30 days to respond, with options to dispute, negotiate, or pay; failure to respond could limit its ability to challenge the penalty.

Newark Runway Near-Miss: Planes Skim Past Each Other by 300 Feet

A near-collision occurred at Newark Liberty International Airport when an Alaska Airlines 737 on approach to a crossing runway aborted its landing after a FedEx 777 had already been cleared for final approach on the intersecting runway. The Alaska crew executed a go-around, narrowly avoiding a collision by about 300–325 feet. FAA and NTSB investigations are underway; FedEx landed safely. The incident is the second major runway scare at Newark in two weeks, following a separate tail-clipping incident involving a Spirit Airlines jet and a Singapore Airlines flight.

Alaska Airlines Pilot Sues Boeing Over Midair Door Blowout

An Alaska Airlines pilot is suing Boeing, claiming the company wrongly blamed him and others for a 2024 incident where a panel blew out of a Boeing 737 Max, causing minor injuries but a safe landing, after Boeing and its supplier were implicated in a repair oversight. The pilot, praised for his quick response, alleges Boeing's attempts to deflect liability caused him distress and legal issues, despite the NTSB's findings of a maintenance error.
