Turkish Airlines’ 2 Boeing 737 MAX 9 Planes Remain Stranded in Iran

An Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 experienced an emergency exit door detachment right after takeoff, prompting the American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to order the grounding of 171 Boeing aircraft. Boeing swiftly responded, emphasizing safety as their foremost priority and urging immediate inspections on 737-9 aircraft with similar configurations.

Turkish Airlines (THY) promptly withdrew 5 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft from service, aligning with the FAA’s directive. However, the status of 2 THY planes situated in Iran remains uncertain. THY hasn’t confirmed plans to relocate these planes to Türkiye, leading to potential flight disruptions due to the withdrawal of 5 aircraft from service.
