Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) said Thursday it was removing
Boeing Co.'s (BA) 737 MAX from its flight schedule through June
6.
The airline had previously removed MAX aircraft from its
schedule through April 13. It pushed the schedule back further
based on continued uncertainty around when the MAX will return to
service.
"Southwest Airlines continues to monitor information from Boeing
and the Federal Aviation Administration on the impending 737 MAX
software enhancements and training requirements," the company said
in a statement on its website. "We remain confident that, once
certified by the FAA, the enhancements will support the safe
operation of the MAX."
Regulators around the world grounded the MAX last year following
two crashes of the plane that resulted in the death of 346
people.
