In a statement, Southwest CEO Gary Kelly said he experienced a smooth and trouble-free ride when he joined one of the more than 200 Max preparation flights the airline has conducted since late last year.
“To be clear, I have the utmost confidence in our ability to safely operate the Boeing 737 MAX. I hope it reassures you, as it does me, to know all that has gone into making the MAX among the most overhauled airplanes in the world.” added Kelly.
