Talk about turbulence. Yep. In January, one of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers unlocked a new fear for travelers when a door plug on a Boeing Max 9 plane [blew out]( during an Alaska Airlines flight. In response, federal officials grounded dozens of Max 9s and ordered Boeing to address its manufacturing process. The fallout has led to delays in Boeing’s production of planes, affecting airlines like Southwest and United. Now, travelers’ wallets and summer plans could take a hit. No Euro summer? Maybe not for everyone. Production delays are expected to impact flight options — both domestic and international — this summer. Southwest, which only flies Boeing planes, has already cut flights. Other carriers like JetBlue are also [trimming]( their schedules. Experts warn limited flights could mean higher prices, with one analyst estimating up to a 10% increase on tickets. European carriers like Ryanair are also anticipating price hikes. Meanwhile, airlines like United are trying to find an “alternative plan” to work around the delays. theSkimm Ahead of its door plug fiasco, Boeing already struggled to meet demand for its planes.

Yesterday, the Justice Department and more than a dozen states filed an antitrust lawsuit accusing the tech giant of maintaining an iPhone monopoly. The DOJ says Apple makes up more than 70% of the smartphone market in the US, with Android being the other major competitor. The suit alleges Apple has stifled other companies from providing apps that compete with their products, like the digital wallet and smartwatches. It also alleged that Apple made it difficult for users to interact with Android devices. The lawsuit asked the court to block Apple from engaging in these practices. Apple said if the lawsuit is successful, it would set a “dangerous precedent.” --------------------------------------------------------------- What’s a scientific breakthrough… [A pig-to-human organ transplant](. Yesterday, doctors announced that they transplanted a genetically modified pig kidney into a living person, the first time that's ever been done. The 62-year-old male recipient, who was diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease, is now recovering well. The successful surgery is the latest in xenotransplantation. Up until recently, the process hasn’t worked because the human immune system would reject any foreign animal tissue. Now, scientists are modifying animals’ organs to make them more compatible with humans in efforts to close the gap in organ donations. Still, experts say it could take years before the procedure is widely used. …Oh and speaking of scientific developments, Elon Musk’s startup Neuralink shared a [video]( of its first patient using a brain implant to play chess. --------------------------------------------------------------- Where people are seeing changes… [Ireland](.
