(WSB Radio) Atlantic Southeast Airlines, a member of the Delta Connections Network, has voluntarily grounded 60 aircraft in its fleet.

ASA spokeswoman Kate Modolo tells WSB's Mark Alewine the airline has pulled the 50 passenger CRJ200 commuter jets from service to conduct safety inspections on the planes' engines. The potential problem was found during an internal audit of the company's maintenence and safety file.

Modolo says the inspections should take between 36 and 48 hours to complete, with most of the work being done at the ASA hangar at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

The airline has not determined how many flights or passengers will be affected by the grounding of the aircraft. ASA reservation specialists are contacting customers who are scheduled to fly today or tomorrow and are rebooking them on other flights.

ASA has notified the Federal Aviation Administration about the inspections.
