"Malaysian-Made Boeing Part Complicates Alaska Airlines Investigation"

The investigation into the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 incident, where a section of fuselage ripped off mid-flight, has revealed that a faulty door plug on the Boeing 737 Max 9 jet was manufactured in Malaysia by Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems. The origin of the fault remains unclear, complicating the investigation. Boeing CEO has pledged to improve cooperation with Spirit, while around 170 planes, mostly operated by Alaska Airlines and United Airlines, remain grounded. The incident is also impacting Boeing's return to the Asian market, particularly in China, where regulators and airlines are conducting additional checks on Boeing planes.
