“We never would have brought the plane back if pilots and flight attendants were not comfortable,” said American’s director of operations, David Seymour.

American will be the third airline worldwide to resume flying the Max after Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes and Aeromexico.

The airline currently has 31 737 MAX aircraft after receiving an additional seven since the FAA lifted its safety ban, and plans to gradually reintroduce the aircraft into its fleet.
