An American Airlines Group Inc. 737-800 went off the runway last month after a brake failure linked to maintenance performed on the plane, US investigators said Thursday.
The Boeing Co. jet touched down normally at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport but the plane’s brakes wouldn’t work, and it rolled off the end of the runway before coming to a stop, the National Transportation Safety Board said.
None of the 104 people aboard were hurt. Pilots were able to slow the plane partially with the plane’s so-called thrust reversers, which use engine power to decelerate.
American Airlines had no immediate comment on the NTSB’s report.
