American airlines to ground boeing 737 max till nov 3

According to recent reports, American Airlines has announced that it will ground its Boeing 737 MAX fleet until November 3, 2023. This decision comes after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) extended its grounding order for the aircraft until November 2023.

American Airlines had previously planned to return the 737 MAX to service in September 2023, but the airline has now pushed back the timeline due to ongoing concerns about the aircraft's safety and the need for additional testing and certification.

The 737 MAX has been grounded worldwide since March 2019 following two fatal crashes that killed a total of 346 people. The crashes were caused by a faulty sensor system that led to the aircraft's automatic flight control system, known as MCAS, to malfunction and cause the planes to nose-dive.

The FAA and other regulatory agencies have been working to address the safety concerns and ensure that the 737 MAX is airworthy before it is allowed to return to service. The extended grounding period will give Boeing and the FAA more time to complete the necessary testing and certification process.

American Airlines has been working to minimize the impact of the grounding on its operations and has been using other aircraft to operate flights that would normally be flown by the 737 MAX. The airline has also been offering refunds or rebooking options to passengers who were scheduled to fly on the 737 MAX.

It's worth noting that other airlines, such as Southwest Airlines and United Airlines, have also extended their grounding periods for the 737 MAX, although the exact dates may vary.
