Tens of thousands of airline passengers were thrown into turmoil Thursday when American Airlines and Delta Air Lines for a second day grounded aircraft and canceled flights as they continue their inspections of wiring bundles on some planes.
American, the nation's largest airline, canceled 132 flights of its estimated 2,300 flights scheduled for Thursday, spokesman Tim Wagner said. That was about 6 percent of American's Thursday schedule after the Fort Worth, Texas-based airline canceled 325 flights on Wednesday.
Delta has not specified the number of flights it was canceling Thursday; however, the Atlanta-based carrier said it began voluntarily re-inspecting wiring on 117 MD-88 aircraft on Wednesday night.
