United Airlines moving its Boeing 737 MAX jets to short-term storage in Arizona

United Airlines is starting to move its 14 Boeing 737 MAX jets to short-term storage in Phoenix, Arizona, which has better weather for stored aircraft and where it will be easier to prepare them for commercial flight again, the carrier said Wednesday. Once the US FAA approves new software and pilot training, airlines will have to upload the software changes and run a series of maintenance checks on the jets before flying them again with passengers. Having all of its MAX planes in one place at Phoenix Goodyear Airport will be more efficient for that process, United said. The airline has received a ferry permit from the FAA for each of the 14 flights to Phoenix from their current locations in Houston, where it cited hurricane threats, and Los Angeles. United has removed its MAX jets from its flight schedule until Nov 3. <br/>
