Article title seems AI generated. Makes it sound like the whole of Alaska Airlines was barred.

Due to this, Alaska Airlines opted to limit the aircraft from extended flights over water to ensure that the plane “could return very quickly to an airport” if the warning light reappeared, according to Jennifer Homendy, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chair.

Looks like Alaska knew about the previous warnings and voluntarily pulled it from international flights.
