If you don’t know it yet, American Airlines has been suspended from flying their planes by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) due to some wirings that may cause fire. Non-compliance issue, says FAA. Of course, a lot of flights were cancelled, and the first time the company was grounded, a lot of travelers were stranded in the airport.

I saw in the 6PM news that American Airlines CEO Gerard Arpey is taking the blame, saying this situation is his fault. There were reportedly 300 MD-80 planes inspected, but so far, only 130 are considered already fixed. And this suspension will continue until Sunday at least.

Now, 10pm already, I just heard on FOXNews that 40% of American Airlines planes will be operational by tomorrow (Friday).

Are you concerned about all this?

Do you know of Jersey City travelers affected by American Airlines cancellations? I wonder how this issue affects local Jersey City businesses…
