United Airlines Inspects 777s; Warns Passengers of Delays, Cancellations

CHICAGO — United Airlines is testing dozens of Boeing 777s to make sure components of a cargo fire suppression system are operating effectively.

The Chicago-based airline says testing will be done on its fleet of 52 777s. It’s warning passengers to be prepared for delays and cancellations.

United says a review of maintenance records shows a test on one of five bottles in the fire suppression system had not been performed. The subsidiary of UAL Corporation alerted authorities.
