Air Canada says it continues to adjust its schedules.

Twenty-four of the planes in their fleet have been now been grounded and the company has adjusted its schedule through to April 30th.

It plans to remove the planes from the flying schedule until at least July 1st.

Air Canada has also suspended the delivery of six more Boeing 737 MAX planes that were expected to be delivered this month and next.

The Boeing 737 MAX aircraft were grounded after two plane crashes in the last six months. The most recent was in Ethiopia earlier this month.
