Delta next to cancel flights
Delta Air Lines, which canceled flights Wednesday for safety inspections, may follow with more today, according to CNN. Chris Kelly, a spokeswoman for the airline, told CNN that Delta canceled several flights Wednesday, but she could not provide an exact number. Delta is inspecting the wiring of 117 MD-88 and 16 MD-90 aircraft. The airline says the checks are voluntary and are expected to be completed by week’s end. American Airlines also canceled flights Wednesday to inspect its MD-80 aircraft. Even though the cancellations were made for safety reasons, customers like Fred Billizon groused. “They told us 6:45 (p.m.). Then they told us 7:30. Then 8, so on and so forth and they just canceled,” he told WXIA. “So they had about 200 people just waiting on flights. And that’s not a lot of happy people.”
