Airport police and US Airways security have reported several cut cables at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport to the FBI.
The cables, which carry data and communications to B-9 and some of the neighboring gates, were cut around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday — hours before the start of the busiest travel day of the year.
The vandalism was discovered in a secure area, leading investigators to believe that someone with security clearance — possibly a disgruntled US Airways employee — is responsible.
The damage did not affect passenger safety, airport security said. Workers labored through the night to repair the damage and had it fixed Wednesday morning.
Last month, US Airways mechanics noticed several puncture holes on the bellies of two of their jets. FBI investigators in that case have said it is highly unlikely the holes were caused by normal wear and tear.
