Attorney: $1B suit against Boeing, Alaska Airlines in door plug incident settled out of court
PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) – Three passengers who sued Boeing and Alaska Airlines for $1 billion over a door plug that flew out mid-air have settled the lawsuit with the companies out of court, according to one of the attorneys for the passengers.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, as part of the settlement agreement, according to the attorney.
Court documents show the suit was dismissed with prejudice on July 7, meaning the plaintiffs can not refile the same claim against the companies in the future.
