LONDON, April 22.
British Overseas Airways Corporation cancelled four more world flights yesterday because of the grounding of six of its Boeing 707 jets with suspected hairline cracks in their tailplanes. The airline cancelled seven flights on Wednesday. 8.0-A.C. said it hoped the first of the six planes withdrawn from service would be flying again by this coming week-end, with replacement parts flown to Britain by the aircraft makers in Seattle. The other five would be back in service by the end of April or the beginning of May.
