United Airlines said it will restart Boeing 737 Max flights in February 2021.
The FAA cleared the jet to fly again last month after a 20-month long grounding.
United said it will restart Max flights on 11 February with flights from Denver and Houston.
The airline said it still has some work to do before the planes can return to service.
"Nothing is more important to United than the safety of our customers and employees," a United spokesman said.
Two airlines – GOL in Brazil and Aeromexico, have recently resumed Max flights, and American Airlines expects to fly the Max again later this month.
"United’s Max fleet won’t return to service until we have completed more than 1,000 hours of work on every aircraft, including FAA-mandated changes to the flight software, additional pilot training, multiple test flights and meticulous technical analysis," the airline said.
Like other airlines, United will give customers the option of refunds or to rebook other services if they don’t feel comfortable flying in a Max jet.
