Read previewThe Boeing 737 Max 9 will return to the skies on Friday, three weeks after the Alaska Airlines blowout, the carrier announced Wednesday. According to Reuters, United Airlines — the biggest operator of the Max 9 with 79 of them — said it will start flying the jet again from Sunday. "It makes me angry," Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci told NBC. Not all the Max 9 jets will immediately return to service because some haven't been through the full inspection process yet. Alaska Airlines expects all its inspections to be completed over the next week.

AdvertisementNEW: FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker tells me its probe of the Alaska Airlines blowout is focused on Boeing quality control issues. The 737 Max 9 door plug design is good "when properly executed," but "where we are looking now is quality assurance and quality control at Boeing."
