Boeing's loose bolts: How much trouble is the company in?
Tuesday 9 January 2024 17:06, UK
United Airlines has found loose bolts on plug doors on Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft during inspections.
These checks follow the Federal Aviation Administration's announcement that all 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft will remain grounded after a window and fuselage parts blew out of an Alaska Airlines passenger plane in mid-air.
On the Sky News Daily with Niall Paterson, Flight Radar 24's director of communications and AvTalk host Ian Petchenik explores the Alaska Airlines incident and what it means for Boeing.
Plus, recent polling suggested that one in three parents believe the COVID pandemic showed that children do not need to go to school every day. Both the government and Labour have announced plans to tackle the rising problem of school absenteeism.
James Royal, headteacher of Blackrod Church School in Bolton, and Keziah Featherstone, executive head of Q3 Academy Tipton, join Niall to chat about the best solutions to the problem.
