Europe calls for checks on handful of Boeing 737-900ER jets
The EASA said on Tuesday it had adopted a US safety alert calling for checks on some Boeing 737-900ER jets. The US FAA on Sunday recommended that operators of Boeing 737-900ER aircraft, the vast majority of which are flown in the United States, visually inspect mid-exit door plugs to ensure they are properly secured. The move came after the FAA grounded 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes following a mid-air blowout of a door plug on an eight-week old Alaska Airlines jet. The 737-900ER is not part of the newer MAX fleet but has a similar door plug design.<br/>
