Two of the major U.S. airlines that fly Boeing Co.’s grounded 737 Max have taken the plane off their schedules until early November, the latest sign that the jet may not resume commercial service this year.

American Airlines Group Inc. adjusted its schedule for the fifth time to accommodate the Max’s lengthening absence since its March 13 grounding. The carrier’s decision to keep the jet off its schedule through Nov. 2 means about 115 daily flights will be canceled, American said in a statement Sunday.
