(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has recalled a fuselage panel from a Boeing 737 MAX-9 operated by Alaska Airlines that was blown off during a flight on Friday. This will be important evidence in the investigation into why the aircraft, which had just been delivered, suddenly experienced depressurization.

NTSB Chairman Homendy said at a press conference in Portland on the 7th that the voice recorder installed in the cockpit of the plane had only two hours of recording time, and that the recording had already been overwritten, meaning important data had been lost. revealed. The committee also plans to look into how Alaska Airlines responded to several air pressure warnings on past flights.
