Problem Solved, USA TODAY A Frito-Lay plant in Southern California is shuttering manufacturing operations after five decades, potentially affecting hundreds of jobs. A statement from PepsiCo Foods U.S., emailed to USA TODAY on June 11, confirmed the "shutdown of manufacturing operations" at Frito-Lay's Rancho Cucamonga site. Although the plant will cease manufacturing operations, its warehouse, distribution, fleet and transportation teams will continue to operate at this location, according to the food, beverage and snack corporation. "We are truly grateful for all the support over the last five decades from our Rancho Cucamonga manufacturing team as well as the local community," PepsiCo Foods U.S.'s statement reads. "We are committed to supporting those impacted through this transition and we are offering pay and benefits to impacted employees." According to Frito-Lay, it has "more than 30 highly advanced manufacturing plants across the country." Is a pricey AI fridge worth it? One woman's rant about hers is going viral. How many Frito-Lay Rancho Cucamonga plant employees may be laid off? PepsiCo did not disclose how many employees would be affected by the shutdown of the manufacturing plant. It is also unclear when the possible layoffs will occur, as the PepsiCo facility is not in California's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) database as of June 11. The WARN Act requires employers to give 60 days' notice before a mass layoff, plant closure or relocation. Employees at the plant told KTLA that they were let go, with some not being allowed to transfer to different departments to possibly keep their jobs. The Frito-Lay Rancho Cucamonga facility also once employed Richard Montañez, an American businessman who took credit for inventing Flamin' Hot Cheetos, although the snack brand and PepsiCo have disputed his claims.

American Airlines passengers bused in Italy after diverted flight
"Customers traveled from FCO to NAP by bus, and we apologize to them for this disruption to their journey," the American Airlines spokesperson said in a statement. FCO is about 145 miles away from Naples International Airport by road, meaning it would typically take more than two hours to drive between the airports. What may have caused the American Airlines flight to divert? Historical flight data via FlightAware shows American Airlines usually sends a Boeing 787-8 on flights to Naples. It is unclear why the airline sent the larger 787-9, which Simpleflying, an online aviation publication, says fits 290 passengers compared to the 787-8's 242 passenger capacity. Another key difference between the two Dreamliner variants, which have the same wingspan, is that the 787-9 is 20 feet longer, according to Business Insider. The 787-9 may have been diverted because it has different requirements for rescue-and-firefighting services (RFFS) than the 787-8, documents from Boeing and the International Civil Aviation Organization show. RFFS are needed to ensure aviation safety and minimize risks related to aircraft fires and incidents, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). While the 787-8 is small enough to land at an airport with Category 8 RFFS requirements, the 787-9 needs a Category 9 RFFS airport, the Boeing document shows. Data reviewed by Business Insider from AviationWeek's Acukwik says the Naples Airport meets Category 8 RFF, meaning a 787-9 would be too big to land there.

American Airlines passengers bused over 140 miles in Italy after diverted flight American Airlines may have sent the wrong aircraft, as Boeing documents and historical flight data shows a 787-8 plane would have been able to land at Naples International Airport without issue. Show Caption Hide Caption Summer air travel: What to know about cancellations, reimbursements American Airlines just canceled 1,000 flights. Here's everything you need to know about airports, flight cancellations, refunds, restrictions. Just the FAQs, USA TODAY Passengers aboard an American Airlines flight to Naples, Italy, had to be bused over 140 miles to their destination from Rome because their plane was seemingly too big to land in Naples.

The flight was supposed to land in Naples around 9:10 a.m. the next day, but an American Airlines spokesperson told USA TODAY on June 7 that "operational limitations" led to the diversion and eventual landing at the Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) in Rome at 9:43 a.m. on June 3. "Customers traveled from FCO to NAP by bus, and we apologize to them for this disruption to their journey," the American Airlines spokesperson said in a statement.

Costco said the recalled items − 18-packs of glass 16.9-ounce Topo Chico mineral water − were purchased between May 20 and May 29 at the impacted warehouses.
