American Airlines has canceled two departures from the Albuquerque International Sunport today, but the company says it expects to be in position Sunday to fly a full day's schedule nationwide.

Sunport spokesman Daniel Jiron said the airline canceled two Saturday morning departures, one in the 7 o'clock hour to Dallas-Fort Worth and one in the 10 o'clock hour to Chicago.
"But beyond that, it looks like they're operating their schedule normally today," Jiron said. "The other six to Dallas and two to Chicago were scheduled (to fly) as normal."

Here's the latest from The Associated Press:
American Airlines on Saturday received clearance from federal aviation officials to return all but three of the remaining 300 grounded jets to service, an airline spokesman said.
But it won't be until Sunday morning before the MD-80s can be positioned throughout the American system to fly a full day's schedule, spokesman Charley Wilson said.
American planned to return to normal operations Saturday afternoon, Wilson said.
The nation's largest airline canceled nearly 3,300 flights. The cancellations started Tuesday as Fort Worth-based American grounded 300 MD-80 jets to wrap wiring bundles to meet federal safety standards and prevent fires.
The cancellations stranded hundreds of thousands of people during the week.
