United Airlines pushes back 737 MAX re-entry to service again

On Friday, United Airlines made an announcement that the Boeing 737 MAX would not be on its flight schedules until November 3rd. According to Reuters, this new extension represents 2,100 cancellations in September as well as 2,900 in October. United had previously excluded their fleet of 14 737 MAX jets from its flight schedule through early September.

In a statement to Reuters, a spokesperson said: “We’ll continue to monitor the regulatory process and nimbly make the necessary adjustments to our operation and our schedule,”

United is by no means alone on this issue. Many airlines have written-in their “new” 737 MAX aircraft into future schedules only to revise those schedules again and again. Southwest Airlines for example, is cancelling their MAX flights through October 1st.

In late June, American Airlines seemed confident that the aircraft would be able to fly in September. It will be interesting to see if and when they will need to follow United’s lead and push back another month or two. Furthermore, American is also expecting to suffer a negative impact of up to $183 million USD due to the grounding, according to Flight Global.

On the other side of the Atlantic, Norwegian is also expecting that their fleet of 18 MAX aircraft will return to service come October. Until then, however, the grounding has so far cost the airline $81 million USD.

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary made comments regarding challenges his airline faces, saying the following to Reuters: “The challenge for us is that we need to see the plane back flying by the end of September, October, and November at the latest, so as not to disrupt our growth for the summer of 2020.”

United’s decision comes after a June 27 announcement by Boeing saying that it would likely take until September at the earliest to fix a fresh flaw in the grounded 737 MAX. The flaw was found by the Federal Aviation Administration last month.. However, some believe that the jet will not fly commercially before the end of the year.

According to Reuters, each aircraft is likely to need between 100 to 150 hours of maintenance and preparation before flying. Furthermore, this can only be done once the ban comes to an end. New pilot training will also take time and airline resources.

Deliveries cannot be made until regulators can approve the MAX’s return to service. Until then, they will continue to take up parking spaces at Boeing’s Renton, WA plant.

  1. I visited several web sites except the audio feature for
    audio songs existing at this site is in fact superb.
    I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours as of late, but I by no means found any interesting
    article like yours. It is lovely value enough for me.
    In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the net will probably be much more helpful than ever before.
    I have been browsing online more than 4 hours today,
    yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
    the net will be much more useful than ever before.
