Kayak unveils a new search feature to filter out specific plane models, following Sunday's deadly Boeing 737 Max 8 crash.
Flight-booking site Kayak rolled out a new search feature Friday that allows users to exclude specific plane models from their options, following Sunday's deadly crash of a Boeing 737 Max 8 jet in Ethiopia.
However, airlines expect the Max models to be grounded for only a few months and will likely be booking flights on these models for later on, said Steve Hafner, co-founder and CEO of Kayak, a unit of Booking Holdings, formerly Priceline. They're out of service on a temporary basis, he said on CNBC's "Squawk Alley.""In reality, airlines are still planning on flying those planes in the summer. People want security and comfort when they fly.

Southwest says it remains 'confident' in its fleet of Boeing planes after Ethiopia crashSouthwest Airlines Co. expressed confidence in its Boeing Co. aircraft and said has no plans to change operations in the wake of a deadly crash involving a 737 Max 8 aircraft in Ethiopia. But shares of the airline fell over 3% in premarket trading, alongside a nearly 9% drop in Boeing shares. "As Southwest operates a fleet of 34 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, we have been in contact with Boeing and will continue to stay close to the investigation as it progresses," said a spokesman for the company. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed shortly after takeoff from the capitol of Addis Ababa, killing all 157 people on board. It's the second deadly accident involving Boeing's popular 737 Max 8 in six months, with the last occurring in October when an Indonesia Lion Air jet crashed into the sea, killing all 189 on board. China's civilian aviation authority has ordered all airlines to ground those Max 8 planes, while Ethiopian Airlines has grounded its entire fleet of those planes. "We don't have any changes planned to our operational policies or procedures," said the Southwest spokesman. Losses for Boeing drove a 170-point drop in Dow futures.
