The FAA has cleared a path for grounded Boeing 737 Max 9 jets to resume flying.
The aircraft was grounded earlier this month after a door plug flew off one of the planes mid-flight.
The FAA also said it was halting further expansion production by Boeing of the aircraft.

More than a hundred Boeing 737 Max 9 jets that were grounded following a near-disaster onboard a recent Alaska Airlines flight have been cleared to resume flying following an inspection, US air safety regulators said Wednesday.
