(Reuters) - U.S. airlines that operate the 737 MAX - Southwest Airlines Co, American Airlines Group Inc and United Airlines - said their focus following the plane's grounding was on finding alternatives for affected customers as quickly as possible.

The United States on Wednesday joined other countries in grounding Boeing's 737 Max after an Ethiopian Airlines plane crash on Sunday that killed 157 people, the second disaster involving the plane in less than five months.
