American Airlines has pushed back its return date for the 737 Max. Here’s why the delay is “no surprise,” according to this analyst.
American said it plans to "slowly phase in" its Max planes, starting Jan. 16, and will increase its use of the jets through February. It had 24 of the 737 Max 8 planes at the time of the grounding and has 76 on order.
Airline executives have said they are talking with Boeing about receiving compensation for the grounding, the largest ever. Boeing took a $4.9 billion after-taxAmerican Airlines CEO"It's hard until we know when the airplane is really going to be back in service to ascertain what the damages are," he said in an interview.
American said customers booked on flights that it scheduled for its 737 Max planes through Jan. 6 will be rebooked on an older 737 that has the same seating configuration, while travelers booked on Max flights between Jan. 7 and Jan. 15, will likely be rebooked on another plane. The airline said it would contact travelers whose flights have been canceled.
Some flights that were not scheduled with the Max may be canceled because airline may opt to reassign those jets to higher-demand routes.
