Southwest Airlines

American Airlines flew a Boeing 737 Max with paying passengers from Miami to New York on Tuesday, the plane’s first commercial flight in U.S. skies since it was grounded after two deadly crashes.

American and United Airlines, which together furloughed 32,000 employees in October, said Monday they will bring those workers back temporarily.

Both North Texas-based companies sought to reassure passengers the planes will be fully inspected and tested.

AAA Texas says 4 million Texans will still travel for Thanksgiving this year, down 5% from last year. Those who are traveling are hitting the road this year instead of flying.

Revenue tumbled 73% at American and 68% at Southwest, compared with a year earlier, before COVID-19.

The move into Houston George Bush Intercontinental and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport comes as the airline struggles with a steep drop in travel during the coronavirus pandemic.

Southwest, the fourth-biggest U.S. airline by revenue, recently said it is burning about $17 million a day. It lost $915 million in the second quarter and borrowed billions while cutting back on flights to conserve cash.
