Dallas-based Southwest Airlines has removed the Max from its flight schedule through January 5.

Southwest Airlines has extended the removal of the 737 Max from its flight schedule through January 5, after receiving an estimate from Boeing of a fourth-quarter return to service of the grounded narrowbody. Southwest added that it would take between one and two months to prepare the Max for service following the lifting of the FAA’s order to ground the airplane to comply with any regulatory directives and perform any additional pilot training the agency might require.
