United Airlines Faces Fine Over Repair Work
From Times Wire Reports
United Airlines may be fined $805,000 because workers used tape to temporarily fix holes in the wing panels of three Boeing Co. 757 jets, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The workers in March taped holes, the biggest measuring 2.6 inches in diameter, on wing panels used to slow the planes during landings, the FAA said.
The planes made 193 flights before United permanently fixed the holes, the FAA said.
