American Airlines planes have reportedly been grounded following a reported technology glitch that has sparked travel chaos for passengers. It comes just hours after rival United Airlines was hit by a similar problem.
One American Airlines passenger tweeted: What is going on with @AmericanAir? They told us 2 plus hours ago about a national tech glitch. They say all planes have been grounded for the moment and we have been on the tarmac since then. Another commented: "Pilot announced 'IT issues' causing them to go to manual processes. Sitting on the tarmac in Philadelphia." A third wrote: "Pilot just announced some electrical issues that need to be addressed creating some manual operations that will delay us. Some day, I pray I get to fly on an on time American Airlines flight."
