American Airlines, the world’s largest carrier, today canceled 900 flights to conduct wiring inspections. The airline has scrubbed more than 2,500 flights since Tuesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration has cracked down on airline safety inspections. Last month, it fined Southwest Airlines more than $10 million for failing to inspect its planes as required under FAA rules.
