Apr 03, 2009 (Chattanooga Times Free Press - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- ASOU | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Atlantic Southeast Airlines reported it canceled 272 flights over a 42-hour period because of an inspection of many of its jets, though all its Chattanooga planes flew Thursday.

About 19 percent of its flights were grounded over the period that ended Thursday afternoon, said ASA spokeswoman Kate Modolo. That number included a third of its nine flights out of Chattanooga on Wednesday.

"ASA's voluntary reinspection has been successful and we're on track to resume full operations," said Ms. Modolo.

Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport spokeswoman Christina Siebold said Thursday it appeared as if ASA was running as scheduled.

"Nothing was canceled for the day," she said.

Airport travelers booked on an early morning flight canceled Wednesday were met by a bus that took them to Atlanta to make their connections. ASA flies between Chattanooga and Atlanta.

Ms. Modolo said that because Chattanooga's airport is in "close proximity" to Atlanta, the airline typically has a shuttle on standby in case of a flight cancellation.

The feeder carrier for Delta Air Lines grounded several 50-seat Bombardier CRJ200 jets after an internal audit raised questions about whether the engines had been properly inspected according to the guidelines provided by the engines' manufacturer.

The inspections were done as a precaution, according to the airline.
