United Airlines moving its grounded 737 MAX jets to Phoenix Goodyear Airport
The Airline said the process of moving all 14 of their 737 MAX aircraft to short-term storage at Phoenix Goodyear airport began Wednesday morning.
PHOENIX - United Airlines announced it will begin moving its grounded 737 Max jets to the Phoenix Goodyear Airport.
The Airline said the process of moving all 14 of their 737 MAX aircraft to short-term storage at Phoenix Goodyear airport began Wednesday morning.
Two of their planes are located at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), three at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), and nine at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU).
United says Arizona is a much better place to store aircraft due to lack of humidity and no potential threat for hurricanes, as opposed to Houston. As for the planes in Los Angeles, they are moving due to construction beginning where they are currently being stored.
The Airline has received ferry permits for each of the 14 flights. Officials expect all 14 planes to be ferried by mid-September.
All 737 MAX aircraft will be out of service for United Airlines at least until November 3.
