Federal regulators have formally notified Boeing that it is
being investigated following an incident with its 737 MAX 9
plane.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday that it had
notified Boeing of the investigation, which will determine if the
company failed to ensure products were safe and met approved
designs.
The investigation follows an incident on Friday on an Alaska
Airlines flight, in which a door plug blew out from the plane
mid-flight.
The FAA ordered temporary grounding and inspections of the MAX 9
planes on Saturday following the incident.
Alaska has since canceled all of its MAX 9 flights through this
coming Saturday as it inspects aircraft. United Airlines and Alaska
both found some loose parts on inspected planes.
