American Airlines issues an update on the Boeing 737 MAX

American Airlines issued a statement on Sunday that confirmed the mega-carrier was extending the time its Boeing 737 Max aircraft are grounded until November 2nd.

American Airlines says it 'remains confident that impending software updates to the Boeing 737 MAX, along with the new training elements Boeing is developing in coordination with our union partners, will lead to recertification of the aircraft this year. We are in continuous contact with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT), National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and other regulatory authorities.

American is extending cancellations for the MAX through Nov. 2. By doing so, our customers and team members can more reliably plan their upcoming travel on American. In total, approximately 115 flights per day will be cancelled through Nov. 2.'
