Boeing 737 Max 9 jetliners have resumed carrying passengers in the United States for the first time since being grounded due to a midair door blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight. The aircraft were grounded for three weeks following the incident. A top Boeing executive has issued an apology over the issue and promised fixes to the problem. Alaska and United Airlines are making accommodations for passengers who are hesitant to fly on the newly inspected Max 9 jets. The first passenger-service flight since the grounding, flight 535, took off from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to San Diego. Boeing's CEO David Calhoun has been on a mea culpa tour and is facing analysts and investors to discuss the financial fallout. Inspections are expected to be completed by the end of the following week, allowing for a full flight schedule.
