Earlier on Thursday the Federal Aviation Administration said American Airlines flights were experiencing widespread ground stops amid computer issues at hubs in Chicago, Dallas and Miami. The airline confirmed that airport computers are not allowing customers to check in. Passengers can still check in on their home computers or cell phones. The airline took to Twitter to respond to customers on the matter.
@NataliePalombi We’re working to resolve technical issues impacting several airports as soon as possible. We truly apologize.
