American Airlines, which has a fleet that currently includes 24 Boeing MAX 8 aircraft with an additional 76 aircraft on order from Boeing, has cancelled MAX flights out until June 3 under the assumption that the MAX will not be returned to service by that date.
American said in a statement that compliance with the directive to ground the aircraft and the related flight cancellations “have caused, and are expected to continue to cause, significant disruption to our customers and financial costs to us”.
