Southwest Airlines on Thursday extended cancellations of 737 MAX flights through early August as the grounding of the Boeing jet drags on, potentially affecting the carrier's profits during the upcoming U.S. summer travel season.

Chief Financial Officer Greg Smith said Wednesday that the company is “spending a lot of time” with Chinese airline customers, trying to help them navigate a downturn in travel.

The company’s CEO, David Calhoun, called the messages “totally appalling.”

The Chicago-based planemaker won zero orders in January as it grapples with fallout from the grounding of its best-selling 737 Max aircraft.

The flight had been expected to take 102 minutes longer

The airline industry is among the most heavily unionized in the U.S. economy, and union members are seeking a bigger share of the airlines' profits

FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said the 737 MAX is the "most scrutinized aircraft in history."

Boeing's woes and the Chinese coronavirus outbreak have caused the White House to lower its projections for the U.S. economy, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on "Mornings with Maria" on Thursday.

Pilots of an Emirates passenger jet that crashed in 2016 while attempting to abort a landing in Dubai failed to notice that the Boeing 777’s engine thrust settings remained too low and cut short a procedure, investigators said on Thursday.

Etihad said it would sell 38 aircraft — 22 Airbus A330s and 16 Boeing 777-300ERs — in the deal with investment firm KKR and leasing firm Altavair AirFinance.

Is Boeing facing a cash crunch?

Boeing disclosed the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation in a regulatory filing Friday.

The Toronto-bound flight AC837 departed from the Adolfo Suárez-Barajas international airport earlier in the day.

The Max, the latest iteration of a plane introduced in 1967, was brought to market in the 2010s to compete with the more fuel-efficient A320neo from Airbus

New CEO David Calhoun will oversee Boeing's legal strategy as it deals with dozens of lawsuits by families of the 346 people who died in crashes of the 737 Max jetliner.

Boeing’s reputation once set the standard but now is gone.

DirecTV asked the Federal Communications Commission to OK removing one of its satellites from orbit to avoid an explosion.

The plane is one of the world's largest twin-engined jetliners.

It may not have to take that step depending on the size and timing of orders from China.

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said the Boeing 737 Max will not fly until it’s completely safe.
