Aviation Authority recommends additional checks on Boeing models
The United States Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has recommended that airlines conduct additional inspections of all Boeing 737-900 models, particularly their emergency doors.
FAA recognizes that the aforementioned aircraft are not part of the 737-9 MAX fleet currently grounded after an accident on January 5, which forced an Alaska Airlines plane to make an emergency return to the Oregon airport. after losing the emergency door.
However – recalls the FAA – the 737-900 “have the same design of pins on the doors”, so the recommendation of “a visual inspection” of the doors represents “an added level of security.”
Boeing’s shares are just beginning to recover after the fall they suffered on that 5th and the following days until they hit the bottom on January 16, when they dropped below $200 (they closed at 249 on January 5, just before the accident).
The shares began to rise on the 16th and today were at $215 an hour after opening on Wall Street, with an upward trend.
