American Airlines flights from Miami, Dallas and Chicago are grounded due to computer problems, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has said. | |
The FAA said the airline requested to hold departures at the Miami, Dallas Fort-Worth and Chicago O'Hare airports. | |
In response to customers complaints on Twitter, the airline said it was having technical issues. | |
The FAA expects to lift the hold - which began about 1200 local time in Miami (1600 GMT) - shortly. | |
Passengers hoping to get to their destinations on time are not hesitating to tell the airline they are unhappy. | |
It appears the website was not working for some customers, as well. |
