UPDATE 1-Alaska Air Group says 737 Max 9 grounding may hit long-term profit growth

Alaska Air Group said on Thursday the lost capacity from the temporary grounding of its Boeing 737 Max 9 fleet may cause the company's long-term profit growth to be below its target range of 4% to 8%. Earlier this month, Alaska Air forecast first-quarter adjusted loss per share of 55 cents to 45 cents per share, compared with analysts' estimates for a loss of $1.18 per share, according to LSEG data. The first-quarter forecast reflects an unspecified partial compensation the carrier received from Boeing following a mid-air blowout of a door plug panel in January and a 30 cent-per-share impact from the temporary grounding of MAX 9 jets after the incident, Alaska Air said earlier.

How Boeing's leadership was 'fired' by its own customers

A revolt by U.S. airline bosses helped topple Boeing's top leadership including CEO Dave Calhoun this week, capping weeks of pressure after the freakish Jan. 5 blowout of a door plug on an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 passenger jet, people familiar with the discussions said. With the company's major U.S. customers agitating for a boardroom meeting without Calhoun, Boeing's board pre-empted their demands with a major upheaval. Now, after the shakeup that took out the CEO, chairman and head of Boeing's commercial airplanes business, airlines face prolonged uncertainty over jet supplies and are calling for deeper changes - starting with picking a manufacturing heavyweight as CEO.

Major airline chiefs plan to hold discussions with Boeing board chair Larry Kellner in meetings that will not include CEO David Calhoun after raising concerns over an Alaska Airlines mid-air emergency and ongoing production issues, sources said.

Boeing deliveries on track as India's Akasa goes international, CEO says

India's Akasa Air is confident that deliveries of its ordered Boeing 737 MAX jets will be on time, its CEO said, despite concerns over the U.S. planemaker's production schedule for 737s amid intense scrutiny after a mid-air incident this year. India's newest airline in January announced an order for 150 Boeing 737s, as it bets big on its international operations. Though Akasa's order does not include the 737 Max 9 version which has been in the spotlight after the incident, broader internal company scrutiny and external investigations in the U.S. have raised worries that delivery timeline of other variants of Boeing's 737 jetliner programme could be hit.

Boeing must improve quality before boosting 737 production, FAA says

The FAA in late January took the unprecedented step of telling Boeing it would not allow the company to expand 737 MAX production in the wake of a mid-air emergency on an Alaska Airlines jet earlier in the month. FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday that the agency has not begun discussions yet with Boeing about hiking 737 production, and said the agency will only permit an increase when Boeing is "running a quality system safely."
