No UK airlines impacted by Boeing 737-9 Max grounding
UK and EU air regulators have adopted the Emergency Airworthiness Directive issued by the US FAA but both say it does affect any aircraft.
The UK’s Civil Aviation Authority says no Boeing 737 Max 9 jets of the type ordered to be grounded operate in the UK.
The CAA has issued advisories to all non-UK airlines not to operate these aircraft in UK airspace unless inspections have already been carried out and verified.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) also said this aircraft type is not operated regularly by any main EU based airline.
There are however, two such planes at the Dutch unit of Turkish airline group Corendon.
The EASA is liaising with FAA officials to learn more about the Alaska Airlines mid-flight incident.
Shortly after takeoff a fuselage panel which included a window blew out mid-flight.
The plane managed to land safely back at Portland Airport, Oregon.
It caused a few minor injuries, the Port of Portland Fire Department said.
