American rushing to repair more planes: report
Thu May 8, 4:49 AM ET
Mechanics have done maintenance work on some of American's A300s, but Federal Aviation Administration managers approved an alternate timetable under which the airline can keep flying those planes while it slowly fixes them, the report said.
The work is being done overnight at American's hub at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, the Journal said.
American grounded more than 3,000 planes last month over problems with wiring systems on MD-80 planes, leaving over 300,000 passengers stranded.
American Airlines was not immediately available for comment.
