Delta Joins in MD80 Inspections/Flight Cancellations
Here is a statement from Delta:
“Safety is Delta's No. 1 priority and we take Airworthiness Directives very seriously. Delta is working in full partnership with the FAA and has begun proactively and voluntarily revalidating the full compliance of a prior Airworthiness Directive that was completed earlier this year. We expect this voluntary review, which will take place on Delta's 117 MD-88 aircraft and 16 MD-90 aircraft, to have some impact to the operation. Delta apologizes in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and will work to proactively contact and reaccomodate any affected customers. The review will be completed by the end of the week.”
