LOS ANGELES, April 2 (Xinhua) -- Southwest Airlines took part of its fleet out of service on Saturday after a plane blew its top and made an emergency landing.
The move affects about half of the outgoing Southwest Airlines flights from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), either leading to the flights' cancellation or delay, airport officials said.
At midmorning Saturday at LAX, six flights to Oakland, Phoenix or San Jose were canceled, while another 3 were reported delayed, and 12 were listed as on time.
Altogether Southwest is grounding 81 Boeing 737 jets that are sister planes to the one that made a successful emergency landing at Yuma, Arizona Friday after part of its ceiling blow out over the Arizona desert.
The plane with 118 passengers on board made the emergency landing soon after it left Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix on way to Sacramento, California.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an investigation into the accident.
The National Transportation Safety Board said one passenger was slightly injured during the landing.
Steve Dupre, a FBI spokesman in Sacramento, ruled out the possibility of terrorism, saying "it appears to be a mechanical issue."
