American Air sets new daily Miami-NY flight for 737 MAX debut

American Airlines Group plans to make Boeing 737 MAX passenger flights at the end of this year for the first time since the aircraft's grounding in March 2019.[DALLAS] American Airlines Group plans to make Boeing 737 MAX passenger flights at the end of this year for the first time since the aircraft's grounding in March 2019.

The MAX will serve the busy Miami-New York corridor once a day starting Dec 29 through Jan 4, American said. The airline will"take a phased approach" to returning the MAX to service once it's approved to fly, including whether to extend the Miami-New York flight beyond Jan 4. The carrier on Saturday removed from its schedule more than 1,900 flights that had been planned on 737 MAX planes for December through March 21, 2021, and shifted them to other aircraft, the airline said in an email. The changes were made amid uncertainty over when the MAX will be certified by aviation regulators to resume commercial operation, and to allow American pilots time to bid on new MAX flights. The schedule isn't final.

The 737 MAX, grounded worldwide after two crashes killed 346 people, is moving closer to resuming commercial flights after European regulators said last week that changes have made the plane safe enough to operate there before year-end. The Federal Aviation Administration is further along in its review, but hasn't commented on when the MAX might operate in the US.

American will fly the MAX, contingent on that approval, daily on one Miami-LaGuardia-Miami routing. The flights can be booked starting Oct 24, and customers will be made aware that they will be flying on a MAX, the airline said.
