US regulator orders inspections on some Boeing MAX 9 planes after emergency

The US air safety regulator announced Saturday it was grounding and ordering inspections on some Boeing 737 MAX 9 airplanes a day after a window panel blew out of one of the aircraft over the state of Oregon.

The Federal Aviation Administration “is requiring immediate inspections of certain Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes before they can return to flight,” the agency said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
