<b>Subject:</b> Travel Alert: Southwest Airlines grounds 128 planes, cancels at least 90 flights after missed inspections<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:6.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans",sans-serif;color:black">DALLAS (AP) — Southwest Airlines Inc. says it has grounded 128 planes after failing to inspect backup hydraulic systems used to control the rudder if the main
system fails.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:6.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans",sans-serif;color:black">The airline said Tuesday night that it had canceled 90 flights so far. The grounding covers about one-fifth its fleet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:6.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans",sans-serif;color:black">Southwest spokeswoman Brandy King said that after discovering the missed inspections, the airline immediately notified federal safety regulators and began checking the planes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:6.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans",sans-serif;color:black">A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, Lynn Lunsford, said that the FAA was working with Southwest and Boeing, which manufactured the planes, to evaluate a plan
that would let the airline keep flying the planes until the inspections are completed over the next few days.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:6.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans",sans-serif;color:black">The missed inspections were first reported by The Wall Street Journal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:6.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans",sans-serif;color:black">King called the missed inspections inadvertent. She said the airline discovered that 128 of its Boeing 737-700 jets already had flown beyond the point at which the backup hydraulic
systems were supposed to be inspected. She said safety was the airline's top priority, and it was working to fix the matter quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
