The Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday halted Boeing’s planned
expansion of its 737 Max aircraft production, but it cleared a path for the
manufacturer’s Max 9 to return to service in the coming days, nearly three weeks
after a door plug blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight.

“Let me be clear: This won’t be back to business as usual for Boeing,” said FAA
Administrator Mike Whitaker in a statement Wednesday. “We will not agree to any
request from Boeing for an expansion in production or approve additional
production lines for the 737 MAX until we are satisfied that the quality control
issues uncovered during this process are resolved.”

Boeing has been scrambling to ramp up output of its best-selling aircraft as
airlines clamor for new jets in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We will continue to cooperate fully and transparently with the FAA and follow
their direction as we take action to strengthen safety and quality at Boeing,”
the company said in a statement.

Boeing shares fell 5.7% on Thursday, while the broader market rose.

The FAA on Wednesday also said it approved inspection instructions for the Max 9
aircraft. Airlines had been awaiting that approval to review their fleets to
return those planes to service.

The FAA grounded the 737 Max 9 planes after a fuselage panel blew out as Flight
1282 climbed out of Portland, Oregon, on Jan. 5. The grounding forced United
Airlines and Alaska Airlines, the two U.S. airlines with the planes, to cancel
hundreds of flights.



Alaska said it would resume 737 Max 9 flights on Friday “with more planes added
every day as inspections are completed and each aircraft is deemed airworthy.”

United plans to return the planes to service beginning on Sunday, according to a
message to employees from Chief Operating Officer Toby Enqvist.

“In the days ahead, our teams will continue to proceed in a way that is thorough
and puts safety and compliance first,” Enqvist said in the internal message.

The CEOs of both carriers have expressed frustration with Boeing after the
issue, the most serious in a recent spate of apparent manufacturing flaws on
Boeing aircraft. The aircraft on the Alaska flight was delivered late last year.

The FAA is investigating Boeing’s production lines after the Alaska flight.
Whitaker told CNBC on Tuesday that the FAA will keep “boots on the ground” at
Boeing’s factory until the agency is convinced quality assurance systems are
working. He said the agency is switching to a “direct inspection” approach with
Boeing.

Boeing’s CEO Dave Calhoun met with senators on Capitol Hill this week, at his
request, to discuss the issue. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., chair of the Senate
Commerce Committee, met with Calhoun on Wednesday and said she plans to call
hearings to “investigate the root causes of these safety lapses.

“The American flying public and Boeing line workers deserve a culture of
leadership at Boeing that puts safety ahead of profits,” she said in a
statement.
