The safety of the traveling public tops all other concerns when it comes to Boeing's 737 Max 9 plane, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said safety will dictate the timeline of returning Boeing's 737 Max 9 aircraft to service following the sudden loss of a door plug on an Alaska Airlines plane.
“The only consideration for the timeline is safety," he said at the U.S. Transportation Research Board's annual meeting in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. "Until it is ready, it’s not ready. Nobody can or should be rushed in that process.”
