American Airlines Inc. said Tuesday it is canceling “several hundred flights” to re-inspect its McDonnell Douglas aircraft.

 

“We’ve been working in good faith to ensure that we are in complete compliance with this airworthiness directive,” American Airlines chairman and chief executive officer said Gerard Arpey said Tuesday afternoon.

 

“We regret and apologize that we are once again causing inconvenience to our customers, but we will continue to work in good faith until we satisfy all of the technical issues related to this airworthiness directive.”

 

American canceled hundreds of flights two weeks ago for the same reason: to make sure that wire bundles in the fleet of MD-80s were properly protected.

You should be fine by Sunday. Also I believe all the flights from Boston to Aruba are on 757s and those haven't been affected by any of these cancellations.
