An All Nippon Airways flight that departed from Sapporo’s New Chitose Airport in Japan on Saturday returned after a crack was discovered in the cockpit window of the<\/a>\u2002Boeing aircraft<\/a>, the airline said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight NH1182 “experienced a crack on one of the outermost of the four layers of the cockpit window,” ANA said in an email Monday. “During the flight the cabin pressure of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft was normal and the landing was made under normal conditions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No other aircraft in the fleet were affected, the airline said, adding, “The safety of our passengers and flight crew is our priority and we apologize for the inconvenience.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crack was discovered about 40 minutes after takeoff of the flight, which was headed to Toyama Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing declined to comment on the cracked window, which happened just over a week after a startling accident<\/a> involving one of its 737 Max airplanes in the U.S. In that mishap, a door plug fell off<\/a> a Max 9 while the plane was in the air, leaving a hole in the side and forcing an emergency landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were no serious injuries on the Alaska Airlines flight. The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded Boeing 737 Max 9 airplanes equipped with the door plugs for safety checks and has opened an investigation<\/a> into Boeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, the CEO of Boeing\u2019s commercial airplanes division, Stan Deal, sent an email to employees pledging additional inspections<\/a> after the Alaska Airlines accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the Max, Boeing’s newest 737 model, the 737-800 aircraft flown by ANA has been in service for over two decades. A popular plane around the world, the 737-800 is known for its reliability and safety record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
