WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Hundreds of passengers flying to and from Palm Beach International Airport have had their travel plans shaken up by the grounding of Boeing 737 Max 9 planes.
The FAA grounded the fleet of United Airlines' Max 9s earlier this month after an Alaska Airlines plane lost a door plug panel in mid-flight after departing from Portland, Oregon.
In the past two weeks, United has been forced to cancel an average of 17 flights a week from Newark to PBIA.
