After a mid-air blowout in the skies earlier this month, aircraft models Boeing 737 Max 9 are now being used once more at airlines.

The aircraft traveled for the first time on Friday since the Federal Aviation Admission grounded all Boeing 737 Max 9 flights for inspection. United Airlines is set to fly on Saturday, but is allowing passengers to change flights if they want for no additional cost.
