【中新社旧金山4月4日电】美国阿拉斯加航空公司于当地时间4日宣布，波音公司在今年第一季度已经向其赔付了约1.6亿美元，以此补偿该公司因737 MAX 9型飞机停飞以及此前的“掉门”事故所导致的经济损失。
据悉，2018年和2019年，波音737 MAX系列飞机接连发生两起致命事故，导致全球范围内的737 MAX机型被停飞，其中包括阿拉斯加航空的737 MAX 9。此次事故不仅影响了波音的声誉，也对航空公司运营造成了实质性影响。阿拉斯加航空表示，这笔赔偿金主要用于弥补停飞期间的运营成本和预期利润的损失。
波音公司对事故表示深感遗憾，并一直致力于解决737 MAX系列飞机的安全问题。在经过一系列的软件更新和飞行员培训改进后，737 MAX逐步获得各国航空监管机构的复飞许可。然而，停飞期间对航空公司造成的财务影响仍需通过赔偿来缓解。
阿拉斯加航空首席执行官表示，他们对波音的赔偿行动表示赞赏，同时也将持续关注飞机的安全性，以确保乘客和机组人员的利益。此次赔偿协议的达成，对于修复航空公司与制造商之间的关系，以及恢复公众对737 MAX系列飞机的信心具有重要意义。

**San Francisco, April 4 – Xinhua News Agency** Alaska Airlines announced on Wednesday local time that Boeing has compensated the company approximately $160 million in the first quarter of this year, to offset经济损失 incurred due to the grounding of its 737 MAX 9 aircraft and a previous “door issue.”
It is reported that in 2018 and 2019, two fatal accidents involving the Boeing 737 MAX series led to the global grounding of the model, including Alaska Airlines’ 737 MAX 9s. The incidents not only tarnished Boeing’s reputation but also had substantial operational impacts on airlines. Alaska Airlines stated that the compensation will primarily cover operating costs and lost anticipated profits during the grounding.
Boeing expressed deep regret over the accidents and has been dedicated to addressing safety issues with the 737 MAX series. Following a series of software updates and enhanced pilot training, the 737 MAX gradually regained flight clearance from aviation regulators worldwide. However, the financial repercussions for airlines during the grounding period still necessitate compensation.
The CEO of Alaska Airlines acknowledged Boeing’s compensation efforts and affirmed their continued focus on aircraft safety to ensure the well-being of passengers and crew. The settlement is deemed crucial for mending the relationship between airlines and manufacturers and rebuilding public confidence in the 737 MAX series.
