New York (CNN Business) American Airlines is canceling flights into early November because of the Boeing 737 Max grounding.

The world's largest airline announced Sunday it's extending cancellations until November 2. It amounts to roughly 115 flight cancellations per day.

"American Airlines remains confident that impending software updates to the Boeing 737 Max, along with the new training elements Boeing is developing in coordination with our union partners, will lead to recertification of the aircraft this year," the airline said in a statement

The move by American doesn't come as a surprise. The US Federal Aviation Administration and safety regulators around the world have not cleared the troubled plane for operations. The plane was grounded in March following two fatal crashes.

Boeing's efforts to get the plane back in the air hit another snag last month. A new potential problem with the jet was discovered during testing -- making it possible the 737 Max will be grounded in to late 2019 or early 2020. CNN Business reported last month that the crisis would likely drag down Boeing's profits into next year.
