Biography | Kelly Ortberg — The Hearing in Dirksen Room G-50
kevin
People treat a Senate aviation hearing as a ritual that always happens in the Capitol dome.
This one was called in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Room G-50.
On 2 April 2025, at 10:00 a.m., the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation opened a hearing titled Safety First: Restoring Boeing's Status as a Great American Manufacturer.
The single listed witness was Kelly Ortberg, eight months into the Boeing job.
The committee notice said the session would examine steps taken after the 5 January 2024 Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 door-plug blowout on a 737 MAX 9, and after later FAA audits.
Written testimony submitted to the committee acknowledged serious missteps in recent years. News coverage of the live session recorded him saying an aircraft should never again leave a factory with a door plug improperly installed.
The portrait on Commons is a committee still from that morning. It is a U.S. Senate work and sits in the public domain.
