the American civil aviation regulator announces the maintenance of these devices on the ground

Boeing is still in crisis, eight days after the spectacular collapse of a window in mid-flight. The American civil aviation regulatory agency (FAA) announced on Friday, January 12, that all 737 MAX 9 planes will have to remain grounded until their manufacturer Boeing provides more data on the stalling of the door of an Alaska Airlines aircraft.

“For the safety of American travelers, the FAA is grounding the Boeing 737-9 MAX until comprehensive inspections and maintenance are completed and the data collected is reviewed.”, the FAA said in a statement. She has in fact launched a security investigation into this incident. “We are working to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again”said FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker.

The FAA says it needs additional information from Boeing before approving the inspection and maintenance instructions proposed by the manufacturer. The regulator said it “will not approve the inspection and maintenance process until it has reviewed the data from the first round of 40 inspections”but added that he judged “encouraging” the appearance “exhaustive instructions carried out by Boeing regarding inspections and maintenance”.
