Amid a federal investigation into what caused a door plug to blow off a 
Boeing 737 Max 9 jet in January, a Boeing top official said the company 
cannot find documents about the door plug and it's likely that such 
records never existed.

Ziad Ojakli, the executive vice president of government operations at 
Boeing, said employees looked "extensively" and failed to turn up any 
paperwork about the "opening and closing of the door plug," he said in a 
letter to Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell on Friday.

According to Ojakli, Boeing's working hypothesis is that "the documents 
required by our processes were not created when the door plug was opened."

The letter was in response to the Senate Commerce Committee's hearing on 
Wednesday, where National Transportation Safety Board chair Jennifer 
Homendy accused Boeing of withholding key information about the door plug.

Ojakli denied the allegations and said the company has been committed to 
cooperating "fully and transparently" ever since the incident.

In a preliminary report released last month, the NTSB said the door plug 
in question was missing four key bolts — ones that help keep the door plug 
in place. Investigators believe the bolts were not re-installed while the 
plane received some repair work at Boeing's factory in Washington state 
last year.

On Wednesday, Homendy said the NTSB still does not know who was 
responsible for failing to reattach the door plug properly.

Ojakli responded in his letter that Boeing has since sent over additional 
names of employees as requested.

Boeing has been under intense scrutiny ever since Jan 5., when a door plug 
tore off at 16,000 feet and left a massive hole during an Alaska Airlines 
flight. No one was seriously injured.

The NTSB and the Federal Aviation Administration have both launched 
investigations into the company. The Department of Justice recently opened 
a criminal probe into the incident, The Wall Street Journal reported on 
Saturday.

Boeing did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment.
