Boeing Co.’s 737 Max is poised to return to service at United Airlines Holdings Inc., the second U.S. carrier to restart flights after a record-long grounding prompted by two deadly crashes.
United is planning a total of two dozen flights on the Max from its hubs in Denver and Houston on Thursday, less than two months since American Airlines Group Inc. began operating the plane again on a single route between Miami and New York. Next month, Southwest Airlines Co. is expected to resume Max operations and Alaska Air Group Inc. will start its first service with the model.
