Boeing failed 33 out of 89 inspections conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration during a six-week audit of the 737 Max jet's production, which began after a mid-air incident involving the 737 Max 9 in January, reported Sputnik, quoting a New York Times report on Tuesday, citing the FAA review.
More airlines are returning their grounded Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes to the air following the Federal Aviation Administration’s release of a list of actions to deal with door plugs on the model.
Alaska Airlines is expected to lose at least US$50 million (RM236.5 million) after the United States Federal Aviation Administration grounded 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft as a response to the door plug that blew off mid-flight on January 5 and tore a hole in the fuselage.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke revealed that the door plug in question was indeed a Malaysian product, but emphasised that its usage had been approved by the FAA.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will keep Boeing 737-9 MAX grounded for the safety of American travellers until extensive inspection and maintenance are conducted and data from inspections is reviewed, the FAA said on its website Friday.
