ValuJet eyes major maintenance overhaul with airlines
ValuJet Airlines plans to have heavy maintenance for its DC-9-30 fleet contracted to fewer vendors, with Air Canada soon discussed as a leading candidate. The move aims to centralize maintenance, ease FAA inspection load, and potentially trim the aging fleet amid ongoing investigations of the Miami crash that killed 110 people. The FAA and ValuJet officials in Atlanta are negotiating terms, with a possible announcement next week.

Sgt. Dave Eklund and hundreds of emergency workers faced an unprecedented effort at ValuJet Flight 592 debris site in the Everglades. Wading waist deep through marsh water and six foot muck, crews recovered about 70 percent of the wreckage while contending with heat fuel odors and dangerous wildlife.
