Welcome to The StrandedTraveler: Find updates on Canceled Flights and Travel Destination

Welcome to StrandedTraveler where you can find updates to canceled flights and airlines issues.

In this update, American Airlines continues to cancel many flights. The airline has just canceled 900 flights, stranding passengers in airports all over the country.

"American Airlines canceled more than 900 flights Thursday as it continues to perform safety inspections on certain jets."

That is not all.

"The Airlines canceled 1,094 flights on Wednesday -- 43 percent of its total daily flights -- and 460 flights the day before, the company said in a statement. The flights were scrapped so inspectors could make sure the airline complied with a federal directive relating to how wires should be bundled in the wheel well of MD-80 jets, the company said.

"We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our customers," Chief Executive Gerard Arpey said in a statement. "American will do whatever it takes to assist those affected by these flight changes, and our employees are working hard to ensure that we remain their choice for air travel."

We have also found out that Delta Airlines is canceling some of its flights to fix the problem underlined by the FAA
