DALLAS American Airlines flights across the country are grounded because of computer problems.
"We are now in a system-wide ground delay until 4 pm CT as we work to resolve this issue," the carrier said over its Twitter feed. "We apologize for any inconvenience."
American asked the Federal Aviation Administration to halt its flights until 5 p.m. EDT. Flights on regional affiliate American Eagle heading to Dallas, Chicago or New York's LaGuardia Airport have been stopped until 3:30 p.m. EDT.
Some passengers are stuck on planes while others can't make reservations.

On Twitter, American is sending out apologies but not offering customers much information about when the problem will be fixed.
