Our Air Transport editors have selected the best quotes they’ve heard over the past week, including European Commission head of transport Magda Kopczynska.
Dominating this week’s top air transport story is the ongoing investigation into the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 incident in which the exit door plug broke away from the aircraft inflight, prompting FAA to ground and order immediate inspections of most 737-9s.
