"Once the MAX is re-certified, we anticipate bringing our MAX aircraft back on line as spares to supplement our operation as needed during the summer," the letter states. This is the latest extension of the 737 Max cancellations for American Airlines. The airline is not the first to cancel its flights on the 737 Max through August. Southwest Airlines said it would also be removing flights with the 737 Max aircraft from its schedule through Aug. 5. President Donald Trump announced an emergency order from the Federal Aviation Administration, which grounded Boeing 737 Max jets in the wake of an Ethiopian Airlines crash and a Lion Air accident in October that together killed 346 people.
