"FAA Completes Initial Inspections of Boeing 737 MAX 9 Aircraft"

The US FAA has completed inspections of the first 40 Boeing 737 MAX 9 airplanes, a crucial step in the process of potentially ungrounding the planes following a mid-flight cabin panel incident. Alaska Airlines and United Airlines, the two US carriers using the aircraft, have had to cancel numerous flights, and Boeing has appointed a retired US Navy admiral to advise on improving quality control. The FAA will thoroughly review the inspection data before deciding whether the planes can resume flights, and Boeing's production processes are under scrutiny following the recent incident.
