to updateUnited Airlines found loose bolts during an inspection of several of its Boeing 737 Max 9 planes. This was also the type of Alaska Airlines plane that lost part of its side during a flight from Oregon to California on Friday. This company now also reports that it has found “poorly connected equipment” in some aircraft of the same type.
