Southwest Airlines Co joined U.S. rivals on Thursday in cancelling more flights ...
Dallas-based Southwest said on Thursday it would schedule without the 737 MAX until Nov. 2, a decision that proactively removes about 180 daily flights from its schedule, more than the 150 daily flights it was removing through early October.
Boeing’s top-selling 737 MAX was grounded worldwide in March after two deadly crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that together killed 346 people. The timing of its return to service is uncertain. Deliveries also are on hold, meaning the pain for airlines like Southwest that were depending on receiving new jets this year is worsening. Southwest was expecting to take delivery of 37 MAX 8 and seven MAX 7 aircraft this year.
The delays have forced the airline to defer two new-hire pilot classes and two captain upgrade classes for existing pilots until it has more clarity over the MAX’s return to service and delivery timelines, Southwest said in an e-mailed statement.
