Southwest Airlines has released that it continues to monitor information from Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on the impending 737 MAX software enhancements and training requirements. The airline remains confident that, once certified by the FAA, the enhancements will support the safe operation of the MAX.
Southwest previously revised its flight schedule by removing the MAX through Oct. 1, to offer reliability to its operation and stability for its customers but with the timing of the MAX’s return-to-service still uncertain, the airline is again revising its plans to remove the MAX from its schedule through Nov. 2.
