United cancels Max into September

United has taken the Boeing 737 Max out of its summer peak schedule as the aircraft’s path to return to revenue service remains unclear. It will not return the aircraft to its schedule until at least Sept 4. “During this period, we’ll continue to take extraordinary steps to protect our customers’ travel plans. Moving forward, we’ll continue to monitor the regulatory process and nimbly make the necessary adjustments to our operation and our schedule to benefit our customers who are traveling with us,” said the airline. United says it expects to cancel between 56 and 108 flights every day, or between 1,600 and 3,300 flights every month, between now and September as a result of the aircraft’s ongoing grounding. United has 14 Maxes in its fleet, which are currently in storage. <br/>
