The European aviation authority EASA has now responded to the emergency airworthiness directive from the US pedant FAA regarding the Boeing 737-Max-9. However, it is made clear that there is no machine in the EU in the configuration that is available Alaska Airlines incident was affected is permitted.
Nevertheless, the EASA the FAA airworthiness directive accepted. In the specific configuration covered by the EAD, a center cabin exit is replaced by a plug-in panel. This configuration is typically used by airlines flying less densely populated aircraft (with lower passenger capacity) where this additional exit is not required to meet evacuation safety requirements.
Two Boeing 737-Max-9s are registered with the affected panel on the Corendon Dutch Airlines AOC. Turkish Arlines also has five aircraft, but the Turkish carrier is not subject to the supervision of EASA, but rather that of the Turkish Civil Aviation Authority. The Star Alliance member has since announced that the affected jets are being grounded as a precaution.
