American Airlines Operations Returning to Normal After Widespread Computer Outage
- American Airlines experienced a systemwide technology outage on Friday that caused flight delays primarily at its hubs including DFW and Charlotte Douglas airports.
- The outage was caused by connectivity problems impacting certain systems, and the company collaborated with its partners to address the issue, resulting in multiple flight delays but no cancellations.
- The disruption led to hundreds of delayed flights—32% nationwide as of 4 p.m. Friday—and caused long passenger wait times, including reports of stranded travelers at Phoenix and large queues at Orlando.
- American Airlines reported that the systems used by both passengers and staff have been restored and are functioning normally. They also expressed their apologies for the delay as their team waits for final approval to proceed with takeoff.
- The airline's prompt corrective actions restored critical functions without cancelling flights, but the delays caused notable inconvenience and highlighted ongoing vulnerability in airline technology infrastructure.
