"Transportation Officials Emphasize Safety in Boeing 737 Max Return"
TL;DR
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated that there is no set timeline for the return of Boeing's 737-9 Max aircraft following an incident where a door blew off mid-flight on an Alaska Airlines plane. Emphasizing safety as the primary consideration, Buttigieg praised the FAA's commitment to ensuring the safety of every aircraft. The FAA has grounded all Boeing 737-9 Max planes with a plug door until they are deemed safe, and both Alaska and United, the only U.S. airlines operating these planes, have canceled future flights and found loose hardware upon inspection.
