The Federal Aviation Administration has approved inspection and maintenance procedures for the grounded Boeing 737 Max 9 planes, allowing airlines to resume flying them this week. United Airlines and Alaska Airlines operate the majority of these planes, with other operators including Copa Airlines, Aeromexico, Turkish Airlines, FlyDubai, and Icelandair. Passengers concerned about flying on the Max 9 should check their airline's website for detailed fleet information and be aware of their rights if they wish to avoid flying on this aircraft.
