American Airlines Cancels Boeing 737 Max Flights Until April.
American Airlines has removed the Boeing 737 Max plane from its schedule until at least April.
American Airlines said in a statement it was in “continuous contact” with regulators and Boeing, but they would extend the cancellation of the plane “based on the latest guidance.” The carrier estimates this will result in about 140 flights cancelled each day through April 6.
Southwest Airlines and United Airlines, which both count the 737 MAX in their fleet, have cancelled flights on the troubled jet until at least March.
"Boeing reaffirmed with the FAA that safety is our top shared priority, and we committed to addressing all of the FAA's questions as they assess MAX certification and training requirements,” the company told NPR. “We will work with the FAA to support their requirements and their timeline as we work to safely return the Max to service in 2020."
