Alaska Airlines cancels more than 200 flights after FAA order
The FAA on Saturday ordered the temporary grounding of 171 Boeing jets installed with the same panel after an eight-week-old Alaska Airlines jet was forced to make an emergency landing with a gap in the fuselage.
"They will remain grounded until the FAA is satisfied that they are safe," the agency said of the affected 737 MAX 9 jets in a statement on Sunday. (Image credit: Reuters)
