American pulls 737 MAX flights through early December, still sees approval this year

American Airline Group Inc said on Sunday it is extending cancellations of Boeing 737 MAX flights through Dec. 3 but remains confident that the aircraft will be approved to fly again this year following new software and pilot training. The fast-selling 737 MAX has been grounded worldwide since mid-March while Boeing updates flight control software at the center of two fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that together killed 346 people within a span of five months. Boeing Co is targeting regulatory approval for the fixes in October, though the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has said it does not have a firm timeline to put the jets back in the air.
