The windshield of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 jet cracked while landing in Oregon on Sunday, the latest in a string of incidents involving aircraft belonging to the company. The jet, Flight 9 from Washington, D.C., was descending at Portland International Airport when a minor crack appeared on the inner windshield, Alaska Airlines said in a statement provided to FOX Business.
Alaska Airlines said its 737 fleets are outfitted with five-layer windscreens that have an outer pane, three inner layers and an inner pane. "If an inner pane cracks, the other pane and layers can maintain cabin pressure. Our maintenance team inspected and repaired the windshield, and the aircraft is back in service," the statement reads. There were 159 passengers and six crew members onboard, according to the airline. No injuries were reported.
Boeing reiterated the different layers on the windshield are designed for safety purposes. "Cracked windshields frequently occur across all models of airplane from all manufacturers. Cracks are generally limited to the outside layer of the windshield, which is a protective coating for the structural portion of the windshield and do not create a safety-of-flight issue," a Boeing spokesperson told FOX Business.
