FAA grounds 171 Boeing planes after mid-air blowout on Alaska Airlines jet

The US airline regulator has ordered the grounding of some Boeing 737 Max 9 jets after part of one plane fell off during an Alaska Airlines flight.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the inspections would affect 171 planes.

On Friday the Alaska Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing after take-off from the US state of Oregon.

United Airlines says it has carried out the inspections required by the FAA on some of its 79 Boeing 737 Max 9 planes.

Removing some of the aircraft from service is expected to cause about 60 cancellations on Saturday, the airline said in a statement.

Earlier, the FAA said it would "order the temporary grounding of certain Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft operated by US airlines or in US territory".

Required inspections will take around four to eight hours per aircraft, it said.

The UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) confirmed that there were no UK-registered 737 Max 9 aircraft.

"We have written to non-UK and foreign permit carriers to ask inspections have been undertaken prior to operation in UK airspace," they wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

In Friday's incident, the Alaska Airlines flight from Portland, Oregon to Ontario, California, had reached 16,000ft (4,876m) when it began its emergency descent, according to flight tracking data.

The airline, carrying 177 passengers and crew, landed safely back in Portland.

Images sent to news outlets showed the night sky visible through the gap in the fuselage, with insulation material and other debris also seen.

There were no immediate indications of the cause of the apparent structural failure, nor any reports of injuries.

Passenger Evan Smith said: "There was a really loud bang towards the left rear of the plane and a woosh noise - and all the air masks dropped.

"They said there was a kid in that row who had his shirt sucked off him and out of the plane and his mother was holding onto him to make sure he didn't go with it."

If American Made Boeing & Europe Made Airbus have so much issues,it is time for Airlines to try out China Made Planes.

SQ only operates wide body. 737 narrow body single aisle. Only it's budget airline Scoot may have.

Boeing plane has a lot of issues as Boeing uses new technology on old plane.

Airbus plane was developed with new tech, like fly-by-wire and composite material.

China plane fight in bombadier/airbus A220 space

SIA operates the 737-8 max, taken over from Silkair. Flights to KL, Penang, not sure other destinations.

Airbus fbw used to have a lot of horror stories in the early days as pilots did not understand the logic of the fbw. Or were 'behind the curve' and blissfully unaware when the fbw protections were inhibited slide to inflight events. Caused some crashes. But the tech has matured by now and pilots should be better informed.

Used Fasterners[Screws].?Maybe the Boeing Staff just used Glue,to save Weight Further.

Just like the logic of Model3 Highland Forward and Reverse gear🤭

They will not scare until they get concussion during air turbulence

Usually it is both fasteners and glue.
