Alaska Airlines did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.<img src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/2024-los-angeles-united-alaska-74626424.jpg?w=1024" alt="Alaska Airlines" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The 737 MAX 9 planes are manufactured by Boeing, whose CEO Dave Calhoun is reportedly working with the National Transportation Safety Board in its investigation “to ensure every next airplane that moves into the sky is in fact safe and that this event can never happen again.”Separately on Wednesday, Calhoun told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/09/boeing-ceo-admits-737-max-9-mistake-after-midair-panel-blowout.html" target="_blank">CNBC</a> that its cancellations won’t affect approvals of Boeing’s smaller MAX 7 and larger MAX 10 models, which were seeking exemption to certain regulations that would allow them to attain certification before completing required design changes.“This issue is on a discrete set of airplanes,” Calhoun told CNBC. “They’re very much unrelated,” he added of the other plane models.<img src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/strawberrvy-via-reuters-file-photo-74571129-2.jpg?w=768" alt="Alaska Airlines" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://nypost.com/2024/01/10/business/alaska-airlines-cancels-boeing-737-max-9-flights-through-saturday/" target="_blank">https://nypost.com/2024/01/10/business/alaska-airlines-cancels-boeing-737-max-9-flights-through-saturday/</a></blockquote>
