Boeing 737 Max 9 flights resume for first time since grounding

Boeing 737 Max 9 flights have resumed weeks after a door plug on an Alaska Airlines flight blew out over Portland. Alaska Airlines showed what it says are completed “rigorous inspections,” deeming each plane as “airworthy.” NBC News’ Steve Patterson has the latest.

I fly on a Max on Friday. Pray for me.

[TailsMilesFoxx]

First the Max 8, now the max 9, what next the max 10??

[rscott]

At this point in time I wouldn't want to be flying with Alaskan or Delta Airlines !

That's wonderful news that Boeing have been able to fix the issues at hand, to make for an even safer aircraft.

11, 660 Boeing 737s produced as of December 2023
That is a good production run for a commercial airliner.

Yeah I'm driving. The quality control now a days is laughable and only getting worse. As such I can't justify putting my safety in the hands of businesses that seem to value saving a dollar.

[barbarasizemore]

I'll never go on another Boeing.

[KimJongsMom]

putting the gaffa next to the door plug of doom 😂 bet he was shtting it secretly

[GlenAllen]

How strong their lobby this Is second time After last years crashes

[antigonooo]

Flying with this plane in 2 weeks. I mean, if something happens it could be also on the street or at home.

Cutting costs is really just padding the executive bonuses.

Airbus are also having serious problems with wing cracking on their A320s.
I magine flying along in the wide blue yonder and see half the wing fold upwards because of a serious crack.

If you that scared about flying on a 737 max, im sure your one of those people that are scary to drive next too, going down the road.

[shawnbenz]

I bet they used up all their duct tape to securely lock those doors

[Rydhxjkwos]

B737max vs A320neo:which one is better?

[DANBSTL]

Didn't air alaska learn from the 261 crash

[ShakespeareCafe]

You either get onboard the Max 9 or your don't fly, simple as that.

[Swalker]

I'd venture to say that Boeing will be so much safer now that there are inspectors in the factories watching everything. If Boeing fails America fails. There is no other wide-body aircraft manufacturer in the United States. The federal government will not let a non-American aircraft manufacturer be the only wide-body airliner manufacturer in the world. We rely on Boeing for much of our military aircraft as well.

Until the next door/part/passenger/plane falls out of the sky.

sped up production to deliver aircraft to customers.

youre building commercial airlines for civilian use.

I think that should have some more leniency than making a deadline.

but hey who am i
