Boeing 737 Max 9 planes await inspection by aviation regulators after panel blowout on Alaska Airlines flight
Passenger safety, “not speed”, will determine how soon Boeing’s 737 Max 9 jets return to the skies following the blowout of a cabin panel during an Alaska Airlines flight last week, regulators have declared.
Dozens of Max 9 planes have been grounded following Friday’s incident, awaiting inspection amid heightened concerns around safety. Alaska and United Airlines have since both found loose parts on several jets.
