Breaking news from Southwest Airlines: They are grounding 41 planes. The jets are being taken immediately to “the closest maintenance facility,” said Southwest spokeswoman Christi Day.
She would not elaborate on what led to the action, except to say it comes amid safety concerns.
The groundings have resulted in “a few cancellations,” she said, but “nothing significant.”
“We’ve been able to substitute and swap aircraft,” Day said. She added that it helps that today is Wednesday, a low travel day.
