WASHINGTON, June 27 (Reuters) - The National
Transportation Safety Board said early Thursday it is
sanctioning Boeing ( BA ) for disclosing non-public details of the
ongoing investigation into the Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines
737 MAX 9 mid-air emergency.
The NTSB said Boeing ( BA ) had "blatantly violated" the agency's
investigative regulations "by providing non-public investigative
information to the media and speculating about possible causes
of the Jan. 5 door-plug blowout."
The NTSB said Boeing ( BA ) would no longer have access to the
investigative information the NTSB produces during its
investigation and added the planemaker will not be allowed to
ask questions of other participants at an investigative hearing
on the door-plug blowout in early August.
