Japan Air Lines has canceled 120 domestic flights after it found cracks in engines made by Pratt & Whitney, a spokesman says. The JAL spokesman says it discovered cracks in six engines used in five of the six planes it had inspected. The engines were models JT8D-217A and JT8D-217C, and the planes, DC-9-81s and DC-9-87s, have two engines and were made by McDonnell Douglas.
