United Will Cancel 8,000 More Flights Due To Boeing 737 MAX

Matthew Klint Posted onJuly 13, 2019 4 Comments

Oscar Munoz 737 MAX

United Airlines has pulled the Boeing 737 MAX out of its schedule until November 3rd and thsi time the cuts are real and painful.

It was only a couple weeks ago that I wrote about United pilling the 737 MAX from the schedule until September 3rd. But as the re-certification process for that aircraft continues to hit snarls, United has pushed back its restart day two more months.

As the months go by, the cancellations will become progressively worse. That is not just because “spare” aircraft will have been re-allocated to scheduled flying assignments. It is primarily because United was expected to receive more 737 MAX this year. Deliveries from Boeing have been on hold since November.

Thus, United will cancel roughly according to this schedule:

  • July – cancel 40-45 flights a day, or roughly 1,290 flights for the month
  • August – cancel approximately 60 flights a day, or roughly 1,900 flights for the month
  • September – cancel approximately 70 flights a day, or roughly 2,100 flights for the month
  • October –  cancel approximately 95 flights a day, or roughly 2,900 flights for the month

In a note to employees obtained by Live and Let’s Fly, United explained it would continue to try to mitigate cancellations where possible through upgauging other other flights:

We are continuing to work through the schedule to try and swap and upgauge aircraft to mitigate the disruption caused by the grounding of the MAX. We continue to automatically book affected customers on alternate flights. If we are unable to place them on a different flight, we will proactively reach out to try and offer other options.

CONCLUSION

United is taking the more realistic approach here than American and Southwest. Southwest has taken the 737 MAX out of the schedule through October 1st. American has only removed the 737 MAX from the schedule until September 3rd. My prediction, as Boeing continues to be experience setbacks, is that a 2020 resumption date is more realistic.

    you know it’s getting to the point that a lot of travelers are starting to simply not care, we have to endure far more drama in our everyday lives and this bucket of worms stinks. Honestly the more the press pounds away the more people are reluctant to fly the Max when and if she is back in service. It seems strange that it is taking this long of course politics doubles or triples the time frame.

    So do you think honestly that the Max will be welcomed back into service by the flying public or will it take time, my bet it will take a long time. Given everything that has come out “jinxed” might be a better word just saying

    Airlines should not promise anything to its customers .Why are they even placing swt backs on there flights? They should wait till FAA is ready to recertification its Max 737 . You can’t change the past but it will be the number one aircraft in rhe world that everyone would want once it’s on its wings to fly again. The whole economic world depending on it to be its trust king of the air.

    If there was an alternative to Boeing Boeing would virtually disappear.
    Their behaviour & arrogance is astounding!

    There are many people I know now who specifically tell the ticket agent – do not put me on a Boeing Aircraft.

    The other thing is that this is all ” SELF INFLICTED”
    Having had the biggest sales numbers on record Boeing board greed promptly proceeded yo “trash the Brand”

@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram.
