The recent incident of a door plug falling off an Alaska Airlines Boeing aircraft has triggered a new crisis for Boeing, casting doubts over its reputation and manufacturing processes. Following the MAX crisis, Boeing seemed to be on the path to recovery, but this event has led to the grounding of around 170 MAX 9 aircraft and a broader inspection mandate from various international airlines and regulators, despite assurances of safety from the FAA. The incident may affect Boeing’s market position and its competition with Airbus, which has seen record orders and offers a wider range of aircraft.
