Scramble to find
enough airplanes

NEW YORK (CP) — of.
ficiala at eight U.S. airlines
were scrambling Tuesday to
locate planes to fly as sub-
stitutes on hundreds of
roules after a federal agency
ordered all domestic DC-19
aircraft temporarily
grounded,

Airline spokesmen said
they might be forced to
cancel some flights, They
urged travellers holding
reservations on DC-108 to
call airlines to learn whether
flights would depart as
scheduled.

Theeight U.S. airlines that
fly DC-103 are: American,
Continental, National,
Northwest Orient, United,
Western, World and Trans
International.

About 10 per cent of all
U.S. flights from major
al ‘ere aboard the wide-

ied TX-10, which can hold
up to 380 passengers.

The decision forced
Britain’s tiny Laker Air-
ways, which uses aix DC-10e,
to call back two of its Nighta
as they nearéd the U.S.
coast,

Laker said it was can-
celling all of its U.S,-Britain
flights for at least one night.

It operates a popular ni
flight from New Yor
London using DC-103.
- Although the grounding
order affected: only 1.S.
airlines, foreign carriers
using the plane sald they’
would comply as well. A total
of. 280 DC-t0s are in service
— 146 by foreign alrlines and
134 by U.S. carriers. ;

Langhorne Bond, adminis-
trator of the U.S, Federal
Aviation Administration
(FAA), ordered all domestic
DCs grounded after im
spectors found “graye and
potentially dangerous
deficiencies" in the as-
sembly that holds the engine .
to the wing.

Bond said the order would
remain in effect wntll ail of
the engine assemblies could
be inspected. He sald he
could not estimate how long
the inspections would take,
but that it could keep the
fleet atounded two or three

ys.

spectors Tuesday “found a
