Alaska Airlines cooperates with DOJ in Boeing 737 MAX blowout probe(Reuters) -Alaska Airlines said on Saturday it is cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice after a criminal investigation was opened into the Boeing 737 MAX blowout on its flight in January. We are fully cooperating and do not believe we are a target of the investigation,” Alaska Airlines said in an emailed statement to Reuters. The investigation would inform the DOJ’s review of whether Boeing complied with an earlier settlement that resolved a federal investigation following two fatal 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019, the report added. Boeing and DOJ did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comments. Days after the incident, Alaska Airlines on Jan. 26 resumed MAX 9 service after it said it had completed inspections on the first group of its Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircrafts.
