LOS ANGELES, March 20 (Reuters) - UAL Corp.'s (UAUA.O: Quote, Profile, Research) United Airlines said on Thursday that it is retesting the altitude indicators on seven of its Boeing 747 jumbo jets after determining that test equipment at a maintenance facility in South Korea needed to be checked for calibration.
"We have voluntarily disclosed to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) that we are retesting the seven aircraft today and have found no issues," United said in a statement.
One of the jets is back in service and the remainder are expected to resume normal flight operations later tonight or tomorrow, said spokeswoman Jean Medina.
United said the testing was not related to the FAA's recent air worthiness directive.
Nooo, just a coincidence...
