American Cancels “Several Hundred” Flights

Filed under: News, American — Rick Seaney @ 6:32 pm

American Airlines began canceling hundreds of flights this evening (and thanks, JoeSentMe for the tip). More cancellations are expected tomorrow (Wednesday).

It took awhile, but American finally put an advisory up on its website.

If you have tickets, check with American’s website NOW. The sooner you can do so, the more quickly you’ll get to your destination. You’ll have a lot of company, trying to make new reservations.

The reason for the cancellations: apparent concerns by the FAA that American did not properly complete previously mandated re-inspections on its MD-80 aircraft.
