The American airline Spirit Airlines canceled around a hundred flights on Friday after grounding some planes for inspection.
The airline also expects the disruptions to last several days, reports the New York Post.
“We have canceled a portion of our scheduled flights in order to conduct a necessary inspection of a small portion of 25 of our aircraft,” Spirit Airlines said in a statement.
“The impact on our network is expected to last several days while we complete inspections and return to normal,” the company added.
Spirit Airlines did not specify the nature of the inspections.
As of late Friday afternoon, the company had canceled 11% of its schedule, representing the highest percentage of canceled flights among major U.S. airlines, according to tracking service FlightAware.
