Skift Take
United is making some adjustments to its long-term fleet plans after the FAA placed production constraints on Boeing.
United Airlines reported it took a $200 million hit during the first-quarter from the Max 9 grounding, according to a regulatory filing posted Tuesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration grounded the Max 9 for nearly one month in January after a door plug suddenly blew off an Alaska Airlines plane mid-air. United and Alaska are the only two airlines in the U.S. to operate the Max 9.
