WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration says Boeing's grounded 737 Max 9 jets can begin flying again after a "thorough inspection and maintenance process." But the agency also imposed sweeping jet production restrictions at the company's factories.
It's been nearly three weeks since federal regulators took 171 Boeing aircraft out of service after part of the fuselage of an Alaska Airlines jet blew out at 16,000 feet after departing the Portland International Airport.
