Travelers at Charlotte Douglas International Airport experienced unexpected delays on August 16, 2025, when a Frontier Airlines Airbus A320 (tail number N365FR) was grounded following a maintenance mishap. According to reports, a ground air-conditioning hose was accidentally pulled into one of the aircraft’s CFMI LEAP-1A26 engines, forcing the airline to cancel its immediate departure.
The aircraft, operating as Flight F93134 from Charlotte to New York LaGuardia, had just arrived from Philadelphia (Flight F92387) at 10:25 AM. During ground servicing, the suction power of the engine drew in the hose, damaging equipment and requiring a safety inspection. Fortunately, no injuries occurred, and safety teams quickly secured the area.
Passengers were later accommodated on a replacement aircraft and departed for New York after approximately nine hours. While early reports speculated that the jet may have been an Airbus A321, Frontier Airlines confirmed that the affected aircraft was indeed an A320.
This event highlights the importance of ground safety procedures in aviation. Thanks to rapid coordination between airline staff and airport crews, risks were minimized, and all travelers continued their journeys safely.
