Southwest just pulled the Boeing 737 Max from its flight schedule until February — the first US airline to push its return later than January
Southwest Airlines said on Thursday it was postponing the return of Boeing's 737 Max jets to its flight schedule until February 8, the latest delay for the plane involved in two fatal crashes with other carriers over five months.
On Wednesday, Air Canada said it had removed its 24 737 Max planes from flight schedules until February 14. Southwest is the largest operator of the Max with 34 jetliners in its fleet. The aircraft was grounded worldwide following a Lion Air crash in Indonesia on Oct. 29, 2018, and an Ethiopian Airlines crash on March 10 that together killed 346 people.
