Flight Emergency Door

An unruly plane passenger who attempted to open the emergency door mid-flight was beaten up and restrained by fellow passengers on a Copa Airlines flight.

A New Jersey man has been arrested for his alleged disruptive and life-threatening behaviour on an American Airlines flight.

Notably, passengers sitting in emergency exit rows are asked by flight attendants before takeoff if they are willing and able to operate the exit door in the event there is an emergency during the flight.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Monday he would be "happy to reopen" the search for flight MH370 if "compelling" evidence emerged, opening the door to a renewed hunt a decade after the plane disappeared.

His statement comes after an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-9 MAX faced an emergency on January 6 after one of its doors blew open mid-air, minutes after take-off.

Mexico International Airport said no harm had been caused, but that the passenger had been handed to police.

Alaska Airlines gradually resumed flights with its Boeing 737 MAX 9 fleet on Friday, three weeks after a mid-flight blowout of a panel and emergency landing prompted sweeping inspections of the aircraft, the company said.

The elderly man was aboard Flight AC855 Sunday when he tried to open the door, which is not possible at cruising altitude.

The aviation industry is still in shock from a near disaster on Jan. 5, 2024, in which a 60-pound "door plug" blew out from a nearly new Boeing 737 MAX 9 in flight at 16,000 feet, leaving a gaping hole in the fuselage.

The plane was headed to Chicago when the light started blinking and forced pilots to alert dispatchers.

An inspection of all 40 Boeing 737 Max planes operated by Indian airlines found a missing part - a washer - on one aircraft, aviation regulator DGCA said Tuesday, prompting the American aerospace giant to sound a global call to scrutinise all planes.

Emma Vu was asleep in seat 18B aboard Flight 1282 when the plane lost its door 16,000 feet in the air.

The Apple device was discovered to be in good condition and didn't seem to have been impacted by the unusual incident.

Alaska Airlines pilots reported pressurization warning lights on three earlier flights of a two-month-old Boeing 737 MAX 9 jet that made an emergency landing on Friday after a door plug tore off.

The fuselage section that ripped away from a Boeing Co. 737 Max jet midflight on Friday reflects a design feature in use for many years, suggesting investigators are likely to zero in on issues in the manufacturing process rather than a design flaw.
