United Airlines extends 737 Max cancellations through Labor Day
United Airlines has extended flight cancellations related to the global grounding of Boeing 737 Max jets by another month. The airline had already pulled flights on the 737 Max from its schedule through early Aug 3 but pushed that date back to Sept 3. That will mean cancelling roughly 1,900 flights in August, United said Wednesday. American Airlines and Southwest Airlines have also pulled flights on the 737 Max from their schedules through early September. The longer the 737 Max has remained out of service, the more flights United has had to cancel: about 60 a day in August, up from 40 to 45 in July and 35 to 40 in June. United operated about 50 flights a day on the aircraft before regulators halted flights, but expected that to grow to 110 flights a day by the end of the year as Boeing delivered new 737 Max aircraft. <br/>
