@ByERussell Southwest Airlines has loaded its first #737MAX flights since 2019, 32 flights a day beginning March 11, per Cirium. Southwest plans to fly 65 737-8s by mid-April, and 69 by year-end.
@fg_domperry Coming to Mobile soon? @Airbus plans ETOPS for BelugaXL fleet to support transatlantic operations.
