Add "Canceled" and "Flown" and you get roughly to the 2021 levels. So, there was a plan.
Shanghai and many other big China cities got into lock-downs or under travel-limitations outside the own environment, around 1 month ago.
So, yeah, these items made it easy for MU to swap out the B737-800 against other airplanes, for example the B737-700 and the A32x. Especially the A32x, MU does have quite a lot of these.
Though, effectively, MU still does not use the B737-800, whereas it can be expected that at least part of the routes could be served with this type, on busy days. But it isn't.
We just have to wait what is going to happen. Assuming the CVR/FDR are read-out by now and no other measures are announced (or taken by MU), more or less implies, it is unclear what happened. Or better, why this accident happened.
