Alaska Air cancels all Boeing 737 Max 9 flights through Jan. 13

Alaska Air Group Inc. is grounding all flights by Boeing Co. 737 Max 9 aircraft over the next three days as it awaits instructions from the planemaker and US safety regulators on inspections.

  • The decision means 110 to 150 daily flight cancellations, the carrier said in a statement
  • The suspension period gives time to conduct inspections and prepare planes for return to service once standards are issued
  • Alaska “regrets the significant disruption” caused by Max 9 aircraft being grounded after Jan. 5 incident
  • Shares of the airline fell 1.4% to $36.83 as of 1:42 p.m.  in New York
