Al Jazeera  

An order by US officials to ground 737 MAX 9s for inspection will affect 171 aircraft worldwide. Here’s what you need to know about the incident, and the Boeing 737 MAX 9 jetliner: What happened to the flight? The new Boeing 737 MAX 9 involved in the incident was delivered to Alaska Airlines in late October and certified in early November, according to FAA data. Federal officials in the United States have ordered the temporary grounding of all Boeing 737 MAX 9 jetliners operated by US airlines or flown in the US by foreign carriers until they are fully inspected. Boeing 737 MAX jets were grounded worldwide for almost two years after a crash in Indonesia in October 2018 which killed 189 people, and another in Ethiopia five months later, which killed 157 people.
