Alaska Airlines will return its first 737 Max 9 jets to the skies on Friday, three weeks after the Flight 1282 blowout which grounded the Boeing jet.

United Airlines said in a filing Monday it expects to lose up to 85 cents per share while increasing costs as the 737 Max 9 remains grounded.

The FAA warned operators of the Boeing 737-900ER to inspect the door plug for loose bolts, although it won't be grounded like the Max 9.

Airbus got a foothold on Boeing's home turf by leasing planes for free, but technological innovation and the 737 Max groundings put it ahead for orders.

Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said that after COVID the operator found "lots of small defects" including a wrench left under a plane's floor.

Alaska Airlines is upping its oversight of the Boeing production line as the FAA beings an audit of the aircraft manufacturer.

An ANA Boeing 737-800 was forced to return mid-flight in Japan after a crack was discovered in the cockpit window.

Airbus reported over 2,000 orders last year compared to Boeing's 1,456, on the same day the FAA announced a formal investigation into Boeing.
