The firm is the second largest operator of the Boeing 737 Max 8 in the US. It follows an earlier disaster in October when a 737 Max 8 flown by Indonesian airline Lion Air crashed, claiming the lives of 189 people. American Airlines operates 24 of the 737 Max 8 planes and has an additional 76 jets on order from Boeing. Southwest Airlines is Boeing's largest customer for the 737 Max 8.
