Jan 8 (Reuters) - Icelandair ICEAIR.IC said on Monday
it is not affected by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's
temporary grounding of some Boeing BA.N 737 MAX 9 planes,
after a jet operated by Alaska Airlines ALK.N suffered a plug
door blowout during a flight on Friday.
"It has been confirmed that the issue is related to
equipment that is not a part of Icelandair's Boeing 737 MAX 9
configuration," a spokesperson of the airline, which operates
four such aircraft, told Reuters.
