"Boeing Urges Global 737 MAX Inspections After Loose Bolt Discovery"

Boeing has directed airlines globally, including Indian carriers Air India Express, SpiceJet, and Akasa, to inspect their Boeing 737 MAX aircraft for a potential issue with loose hardware in the rudder control mechanism. The directive comes after a loose bolt was discovered during routine maintenance. The three Indian airlines, which operate over 40 of these aircraft, have stated that the checks will not impact their operations. This safety concern arises amidst ongoing issues with Pratt & Whitney engines on Airbus A320neo aircraft, which have already led to groundings and could contribute to fare hikes if more planes are affected.
