American Airlines pulls 737 MAX from schedule through April 6

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - American Airlines Group Inc (O:AAL) will extend cancellations of Boeing Co (N:BA) 737 MAX flights through April 6, it said on Thursday, a day after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said it would not approve the plane's return to service before January.

American, the largest U.S. airline, had previously canceled about 140 flights a day through March 4 and now expects to resume 737 MAX passenger flights on April 7.

Once the FAA gives 737 MAX approval, American will need at least 30 days to prepare the jets and its pilots for commercial flights, airline and union officials have said.

Boeing 737 MAXs have been grounded worldwide since March following an Ethiopian Airlines Co crash, the second of two fatal crashes in five months that killed 346 people. Southwest Airlines Co (N:LUV) Chief Executive Gary Kelly said earlier Thursday it was "likely" the carrier would need to extend its cancellations beyond early March.
