United Airlines Suspends Boeing 737 Max 9 Flights Until Jan 26.

In a recent announcement, United Airlines Holdings Inc. has decided to suspend all flights involving Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft until January 26. This decision comes in the wake of a directive issued by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Sunday, advising airlines using Boeing 737-900ER jets to conduct thorough checks of door plugs. The FAA's guidance, aimed at ensuring these components are securely fastened, was issued after reports of unspecified problems with bolts during routine inspections by some airlines. This precautionary measure follows the FAA's earlier decision to ground 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 airplanes subsequent to an incident on January 5, where a door plug blew out mid-flight on a newly acquired Alaska Airlines MAX 9 jet
