ndonesia temporarily ground 737 max

Indonesia temporarily grounded three Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes on Jan. 6, operated by Lion Air, despite different configurations from the plane that had to make an emergency landing in the U.S. last week,
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered the temporary grounding of 171 Boeing jets installed with the same panel that tore off an eight-week-old Alaska Airlines jet on Friday, forcing an emergency landing with a gap in the fuselage.
The door plug blew off the left side of the Alaska Airlines jet following takeoff from Portland, Oregon, en route to Ontario, California, forcing pilots to turn back and land safely with all 171 passengers and six crew on board.
Three Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes, the only ones Indonesia had, were grounded starting from January 6 until further notice.
