Airline flight delays rippled across the northeastern U.S. after today’s earthquake, with almost 400 planes running at least a half-hour late at New York and Washington airports.

The Federal Aviation Administration said inspections for damage were under way. Some flights were canceled, with Delta Air Lines Inc. expecting to scrub 15 at New York’s John F. Kennedy airport and about a dozen from Washington’s Ronald Reagan National, a spokesman, Eric Torbenson, said in an e-mail.
