Air Canada removes 737 Max until August

(www.cargofee.com) News Broadcast：

Air Canada is the latest airline to remove 737 Max aircraft from its scheduled flights into August with no sign of how long regulators will keep the aircraft grounded.

The Montreal-based airline has kept 24 737 Max 8 aircraft in storage since grounding the fleet in March, according to Cirium’s Fleets Analyzer. The carrier has compensated for the absence of the Max by flying passengers on some of their other 163 aircraft currently in service. Air Canada was expecting to receive another 12 aircraft for a total fleet of 36 Max aircraft in July, but deliveries of the 737 Max have been paused by Boeing.

As regulators coordinate with Boeing on safety concerns with the Max, Air Canada has removed the Max from its schedules “until at least 1 August.” Air Canada says it will only return that fleet to service once regulators lift the ban and the airline makes its own safety assessment. Southwest Airlines and American Airlines, which also operate fleets of 737 Max aircraft, have removed those aircraft from their flight schedules through August.
