"Boeing 737 Max 9 Resumes Flights Amid Ongoing Safety Concerns"

Alaska Airlines and United Airlines have resumed flying some of their Boeing Max 9 planes after a door panel blowout incident led to the grounding of all Max 9 aircraft. While airlines, regulators, and Boeing assert the planes are safe following inspections and maintenance, critics argue that serious safety concerns persist. Former Boeing employees and aviation safety experts have raised alarms about ongoing safety issues and a cultural problem at the manufacturer, urging comprehensive fixes rather than addressing problems one at a time. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the door panel blowout, and the FAA has announced increased scrutiny of Boeing's production and manufacturing activities.
