Canadian air travellers will be largely unaffected by the grounding of Boeing’s 737 Max 9 airplane, but they may want to double-check their itineraries all the same.
Some passengers could be booked on routes affected by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration order, which grounded the Max 9 after part of the fuselage tore away from an Alaska Airlines plane on Jan. 5, leaving a gaping hole in the side of the cabin.
