The National Transportation Safety Board, in a report released Thursday, also found the Federal Aviation Administration’s oversight of the company, Bering Air, was inadequate. Both were contributing factors to the February 2025 crash, which was one of Alaska’s deadliest plane crashes this century. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment to Bering Air. The NTSB said it found a pattern of underreported weights on Bering Air flight manifests and flights operating above weight limits. The report said the FAA’s oversight “failed to identify and address the routine operation of overweight flights.”
