FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) ―
American Airlines says it is again canceling hundreds of flights to inspect wire bundles on its MD-80 planes.
The carrier said Tuesday the additional inspections are based on Federal Aviation Administration audits involving technical compliance issues. As many as 500 flights could be canceled today, with additional cancellations likely tomorrow.
American says it is putting affected passengers on other flights. It is instructing travelers to check AA.com or with travel agents about a flight's status.
Several major airlines have grounded planes in recent weeks amid tighter FAA oversight.
