Scary moments on a Boutique Flight to Ironwood

Written by on May 7, 2021

IRONWOOD, MI — A Wakefield man plans to take his concerns to the Gogebic County Board after he says an emergency exit door on his Boutique Airlines flight ripped off the plane just moments before his flight from Minneapolis to Ironwood was to take off Wednesday.  Tom Yon tells KBJR-TV 6 in Duluth he was seated just feet from the door on a Boutique Airlines small, 8-person plane when the door flew off just before takeoff.  Yon described a sound of a loud bang and then the door was gone, and his carry-on bag being sucked out of the opening. The Metropolitan Airports Commission confirmed the incident happened around 3 p.m. Wednesday.  They say the plane never actually left the ground after the door came off.  The plane returned to the gate, and the door was found nearby.  Yon says he plans to take his concerns to the Gogebic County Board during a public meeting Monday morning.  Boutique Airlines has yet to comment regarding the incident.
