CHICAGO - United Airlines expects Boeing Co’s grounded 737 MAX jets to return to service this summer, with deliveries resuming before the end of the year, an executive said on Wednesday, reassuring investors concerned about a prolonged suspension.
The 737 MAX was grounded worldwide in March following two fatal crashes, forcing Boeing to freeze deliveries. Boeing is under pressure to upgrade the software and convince global regulators that the plane is safe to fly again, a process expected to take at least 90 days. United’s 2019 MAX orders were scheduled for delivery by the end of the third quarter, though Laderman said he could see some of those deliveries slipping into the fourth.
Unlike other U.S. airlines that own the MAX, No. 3 United has largely avoided flight cancellations after the grounding deferring nonessential maintenance on larger aircraft to put them on MAX routes.
