FOX NEWS RADIO
About this episode

The Federal Aviation Administration Friday ordered the grounding of nearly two hundred of Boeing's 737 MAX planes worldwide after the door plug of an Alaska Airlines plane blew off mid-flight. Alaska and United Airlines both made the decision to ground all of their 737 MAX fleet as they waited instructions on inspections of the planes. There were no fatalities in the Alaska Airlines incident but it is the latest problem with a plane that was grounded worldwide after crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that killed nearly three hundred and fifty people.


FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Mike Boyd, President of the Boyd Group International, focusing on aviation forecasting and consulting, and pilot, about the Alaska Airlines incident and how this grounding could impact air travel in the immediate future.
