Probe cites history of overweight flights, inadequate oversight in crash that killed 10 off Alaska

The National Transportation Safety Board found that Bering Air, the operator of a commuter plane that crashed off Alaska in February 2025, had a history of overweight flights and the Federal Aviation Administration provided inadequate oversight. The crash, which killed all 10 people on board, was attributed to a combination of factors including the pilot's failure to maintain airspeed and routine overweight operations in icy conditions.
