The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a comprehensive review order for Boeing 737 MAX-9 aircraft following an incident on an Alaska Airlines flight that resulted in the loss of part of its fuselage, necessitating an emergency landing.

Grupo Aeromexico announced that, in line with the FAA's directives, it will keep its 19 Boeing 737 MAX-9 aircraft grounded while authorities conduct necessary inspections.

This event is directly linked to the incident on Alaska Airlines Flight 1822, which was using a similar aircraft. The flight departed from Portland, Oregon, bound for Ontario, California, and experienced the detachment of a window during the flight. Fortunately, the aircraft returned to its departure airport without major incidents for passengers.
