Air Group announced on Thursday that Boeing has made a one-time payment totaling over $160 million in the first quarter to make up for the financial loss the airline suffered when their 737 MAX 9 aircrafts were temporarily grounded. According to a filing from Alaska, the amount is equal to the lost revenues from the accident and grounding in Q1, and that it anticipates receiving extra compensation. Following a mid-air cabin panel blowout on an Alaska Air MAX 9 aircraft in January, the US aviation regulator ordered the grounding of 171 aircraft for inspections. Later that month, the grounding was lifted.
