“The European Union aviation safety regulator adopted the FAA’s MAX 9 directive but noted no EU member state airlines “currently operate an aircraft in the affected configuration.” A British air safety regulator said it would require any 737 MAX 9 operator to comply with the FAA directive to enter its airspace.”
EU + UK have no MAX 9 with the affected configuration but still forcing every plane to be double checked
And average age of an airplane before they retire is low 20s years old. There’s not gonna be many planes in service built before 2000. They even early retired a bunch of older planes between 2010 and 2014 to more fuel efficient ones
