ValuJet's Bumpy Ride

NPR
Published December 26, 1996 at 11:00 PM CST

Kathy Lohr reports that it hasn't been a good holiday season for ValuJet. The airline canceled some flights because it hadn't gotten final permission from the government to fly the routes. ValuJet has been struggling ever since the crash of its flight 592 in the Everglades last May, which killed everyone on board. The airline was shut down for 3 months.
