Investigations have been launched by the National Transportation Safety Board, Alaska Airlines and Boeing, with the Boeing 737-9 MAX jet only going into service in November 2023.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the aviation industry and sparked urgent safety concerns, with Alaska Airlines grounding dozens of its Boeing 737-9 MAX jets for urgent safety checks following the emergency landing.

Reports indicate several other airlines and regulators are urgently looking into grounding their Boeing 737-9 MAX fleets, with critics pointing to several deadly crashes and systems failures involving the jets in recent years.
