Alaska Airlines cancels 44 flights
Alaska Airlines said it cancelled 44 flights between the most northern US state and domestic and Canadian destinations after ash from the Kasatochi Volcano in the western Aleutians drifted over the southeast Alaska panhandle and parts of western Canada.
American Airlines canceled 595 more flights today, bringing this week's total to nearly 3,100 as inspections continue on the wiring of its MD-80 jets.
