An American Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration N906AN performing flight AA-1011 from Miami,FL to New York La Guardia,NY (USA), had been dispatched under minimum list requirements with the left center fuel tank pump inoperative. The aircraft was enroute at FL370 about 250nm northnortheast of Miami when the crew decided to return to Miami due to the failure of the right hand center tank fuel pump rendering the fuel in the center tank unavailable. The aircraft landed safely back on Miami’s runway 26L about 55 minutes later.
A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration N971NN is estimated to reach New York with a delay of 4 hours.
