Boeing 737 MAX 9 set to resume flights after safety inspections

Boeing's 737 MAX 9 planes could be back in air today.

Boeing's 737 MAX 9 planes may soon be returning to the skies as they pass safety inspections, following their grounding after an incident involving a blown-out door plug on an Alaska Airlines flight. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given the green light for these aircraft to resume service, with some expected to fly again today under Alaska Airlines and potentially United.

According to reports, the 737 MAX 9 experienced a door plug issue during a recent flight. However, questions have arisen amid suggestions of a possible red flag prior to the incident. Local media sources have revealed that Boeing had temporarily removed the door plug from the aircraft for repairs before reinstalling it. These reports indicate that the jet had already been in service for a mere three months before the incident occurred.
