CHICAGO: United Airlines is starting to move its 14 Boeing 737 MAX jets to short-term storage in Phoenix, Arizona, which has better weather for stored aircraft and where it will be easier to prepare them for commercial flight again, the carrier said on Wednesday.
Once the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration approves the new software and pilot training, airlines will have to upload the software changes and run a series of maintenance checks on the jets before flying them again with passengers. The airline has received a ferry permit from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration for each of the 14 flights to Phoenix from their current locations in Houston, where it cited hurricane threats, and Los Angeles. The permits allow an airline to ferry an aircraft from one place to another.Airlines that own the MAX have been forced to cancel thousands of flights since the planes were grounded, hitting profits during the busy summer travel season.
