After receiving FAA approval, United Airlines returned its Boeing 737 MAX 9s to service, ending a three-week grounding.
Inspections have been conducted on affected jets, and United has reportedly found loose bolts on at least five of its aircraft.
Other airlines, including Alaska Airlines, Copa Airlines, and Aeromexico, are also returning their grounded MAX 9s to service.
