"Boeing's Safety Exemption Bid Withdrawn as Missing Bolts Found on Alaska Airlines Plane"

Boeing withdraws its application for a safety exemption for the 737 Max 7 as details emerge about missing bolts on a 737 Max 9 plane used by Alaska Airlines, indicating that the bolts needed to secure a part of the plane were missing when it left Boeing's factory. The incident led to a near-disaster and emergency landing. Additionally, US Sen. Tammy Duckworth pressured the FAA to reject Boeing's request for an exemption related to an anti-ice system on the 737 Max 7, which could cause engine nacelle failure. Boeing has since withdrawn the request and is committed to incorporating an engineering solution to ensure safety.
