airport bases: Ryanair, Europe's biggest short-haul carrier, also announced it would have to curb expansion plans pinned on the arrival of its 737 Max orders and that some airport bases would have to shut as a result, according to The Guardian. Making the announcement on Tuesday, its chief executive, Michael O'Leary, said he remained committed to the plane We've described them as gamechangers and they remain gamechangers. With more than four months already elapsed since the plane was grounded by regulators, Southwest and American, two of the jet's main US operators, followed United Airlines in saying they would be taking the Max out of their schedules until November.

Boeing's top-selling plane, with around 5,000 on order worldwide, was pulled from service after an Ethiopian Airlines crash outside Addis Ababa in March that killed all 157 people on board. According to one report, the 737 Max might not return until next year as Boeing searches to fix the design flaws behind two deadly crashes.
