Southwest readjusts schedule through early August on MAX grounding
Southwest Airlines has revamped its schedule through Aug 5 to account for not having its 34 Boeing 737 MAXs as the model’s grounding continues to keep operators shuffling their schedules and fleet plans. “While the timing for the return to service of the MAX remains unclear, what is very clear is our commitment to operate a reliable schedule and provide the famous customer service you expect from us,” Southwest president Tom Nealon said. “Our revised summer schedule allows us to accomplish those objectives.” The carrier operates more MAXs than any other airline, and flew about 200 daily departures with them before FAA issued an operational ban March 13. Schedule changes, cancellations and crew-scheduling disruptions are the most common ramifications of the global grounding of all 376 MAXs in service. <br/>
