Indian regulator orders aircraft inspections following Alaska Airlines incident – ANI

India's aviation regulator on Saturday ordered an inspection of all Boeing 737-8 Max aircraft owned by domestic operators after a cabin panel blowout forced a new Alaska Airlines airplane to make an emergency landing in the United States, news agency ANI reported. The California-bound Boeing 737-9 Max aircraft operated by Alaska Airlines had to make an emergency landing on Friday as it climbed out of Portland, Oregon. There were no immediate indications of the cause of the apparent structural failure nor any reports of injuries.
