Alaska Airlines Boeing jet experiences flooding, turns around during flight from Hawaii to Anchorage

An Alaska Airlines flight from Honolulu to Anchorage, Alaska, had to turn around after a faulty sink flooded the cabin of the Boeing 737 Max 9, according to reports.

The flight took off Friday at 10:16 p.m., according to FlightAware.

When water started flowing about 90 minutes into the flight, the captain of Alaska Airlines Flight 828 decided to turn around, according to the Daily Mail.

The plane landed at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport two hours and 18 minutes after initial takeoff.

“There was probably two to four inches of standing water that came out as soon as you opened the front door to the restroom,” plane passenger Dustin Parker told KTUU-TV.

“I would say about an hour and a half into the flight we noticed the water and that was significant. The entire floor of that plane (was) completely wet.

The video shared by Parker shows a flight attendant throwing paper towels on the floor of the plane in an attempt to mop up the water.

The center aisle can be seen glistening from what appears to be the front of the plane to the rear.

Eventually, the paper towels are replaced with what look like blue blankets.

“We apologize to our guests for the inconvenience caused and commend the crew for their actions to ensure the well-being and comfort of our guests,” Alaska Airlines said in a statement to FOX Business.

Flights from Honolulu to Anchorage typically last about six hours, according to FlightAware.

The flight had to be canceled due to a lack of planes for an exchange, but the passengers affected were “resettled on alternative flights”, the airline said.

Alaska Airlines and Boeing made headlines following an in-flight blowout during a flight in January.

Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 made an emergency landing on January 5, shortly after taking off from Portland International Airport, Oregon.when a door jam ripped off the airliner as it boarded for a trip to California.

No injuries were reported on board the plane, which was carrying 171 passengers and six crew members at the time.

The eruption prompted the FAA to ground similar Boeing 737 Max 9 jetliners for inspection.

The grounding led to thousands of flight cancellations.

Last month, passengers who were on the Alaska Airlines flight with the door cap burst mid-flight received a letter from the FBI saying they might be a “possible crime victim.”
