Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of The United States has
decided to suspend the operation of some Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft
after the Alaska Airlines flight depressurization incident,

reported that at the same time, part of the fuselage fell off the
aircraft and the porthole fell out.
"The FAA requires immediate inspections of some Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft before they can return to flight. We will continue to make decisions based on safety while we assist the National Transportation Safety Board with the investigation of the incident with Alaska Airlines Flight 1282," said FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker.
This decision will affect approximately 171 aircraft.
