FAA GROUNDS 171 BOEING 737 MAX 9S AFTER ALASKA AIRLINES PANEL BLOWS OUT IN

The Federal Aviation Administration on Saturday ordered the temporary grounding
of 171 "certain" Boeing 737 Max 9 airplanes, a day after a panel on one of the
aircraft flown by Alaska Airlines blew out while in mid-flight.

The inspection order applies to airlines operating the aircraft in the U.S. or
its territories.  

"The FAA is requiring immediate inspections of certain Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes
before they can return to flight," FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker said. "Safety
will continue to drive our decision-making as we assist the NTSB’s [National
Transportation Safety Board] investigation into Alaska Airlines Flight 1282."

The order came after Alaska Airlines flight 1282 from Portland, Oregon, to
Ontario, California, experienced an "incident" shortly after departure. The
aircraft, which was carrying 171 passengers and six crew members, landed safely
back at Portland International Airport.

One passenger told a local media outlet that people's phones were sucked out of
the plane and that a child close to the damaged part of the plane lost his shirt
from the violent and sudden depressurization.

The pilot radioed to the air traffic controller immediately after the incident
declaring that the flight had depressurized. The plane was about six minutes
into its flight and about 16,000 feet in the air when it began its descent,
according to FlightAware.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said that, "Safety will always be the
top priority for our Department and for FAA."

Administrator Whitaker has acted to order these aircraft grounded pending the
inspections necessary to ensure that they are safe to operate," he stated in a
post on X. 




"Safety is our top priority and we deeply regret the impact this event has had
on our customers and their passengers," a Boeing statement said. "We agree with
and fully support the FAA's decision to require immediate inspections of 737-9
airplanes with the same configuration as the affected airplane. In addition, a
Boeing technical team is supporting the NTSB's (National Transportation Safety
Board) investigation into last night's event. We will remain in close contact
with our regulator and customers."

The Max is the newest version of Boeing’s venerable 737, a twin-engine,
single-aisle plane frequently used on U.S. domestic flights. The plane went into
service in May 2017, according to The Associated Press. 

The plane was delivered to Alaska Airlines in October.

United Airlines told FOX Business that it has 79 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft,
including 33 that have already received the necessary inspection that is
required by the FAA. Removing the aircraft from service was expected to result
in at least 60 flight cancelations on Saturday, the airline said. 

"United has temporarily suspended service on select Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft to
conduct an inspection required by the FAA, a United statement said. "We are
working directly with impacted customers to find them alternative travel
options.
