A crack on the cockpit window of an All Nippon Airways (ANA) Boeing 737-800 midair prompted the aircraft to return to its departure airport in Tokyo, Japan. The incident occurred during a domestic flight to Toyama airport when the crack was discovered on the outermost layer of the cockpit windows. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported among the 59 passengers and six crew members on board. It is important to note that this particular aircraft was not one of Boeing’s 737 MAX 9 airplanes, which have faced safety concerns following recent incidents. The ANA spokesperson clarified that the crack did not impact the flight’s control or pressurization. In related news, the US aviation regulator has extended the grounding of Boeing 737 MAX 9 airplanes for further safety checks and has announced stricter oversight of Boeing itself.
