Southwest extends Boeing 737 MAX cancellations until early March

getting the plane returned to service, putting its goal of having the Max flying by the end of 2019 into doubt.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesSouthwest Airlines said on Friday it is extending the cancellation of flights using 737 Max jets from its schedule by another month as Boeing faces increasing hurdles in winning approval to return the plane to service before the end of this year following two fatal crashes.

Last month, Southwest had extended the grounding of all 34 737 Max jets in its fleet to February 8. Southwest, the largest operator of the 737 Max 8 jets, said it was now canceling flights through March 6 because of "continued uncertainty around the timing of Max return to service" and added it is "unable to provide an update on first quarter capacity guidance at this time.

That has thrown into question when Boeing can complete a certification test flight. The Federal Aviation Administration has said it would not unground the planes until 30 days after that flight occurs. Two US officials told Reuters it is extremely unlikely -- if not impossible -- that Boeing will be able to win approval to return flights to service before the end of December.
