United Airlines says it found loose bolts while inspecting Boeing 737 Max 9 planes
United’s 737 Max inspections revealed “installation issues.”
A representative for United who only identified themselves as “Erin” told The Verge in an email that since beginning inspections of the planes on Saturday, it has “found instances that appear to relate to installation issues in the door plug — for example, bolts that needed additional tightening.” Now, United has confirmed the discovery and says its technicians will remedy the installation issues and “safely return the aircraft to service.” The company says it has 79 Boeing 737 Max 9 in its fleet. The FAA began requiring the inspections after the Alaska Airlines incident and has directed companies to repair any issues they find.
