American Airlines says it is prioritising flights to non-hub cities and international flying now that the FAA's nationwide ground stop has been lifted. The airline expects residual delays and cancellations to continue into Saturday.
In an update on its newsroom at 8.25pm Central Time on Friday 13 November, American said it would focus on those flights for the rest of Friday evening. It said the aim was to put aircraft and crew where they are needed for a stronger recovery on Saturday and beyond.
The airline has issued a travel alert for affected customers. It includes an option to receive a refund.
Earlier on Friday, American had said its flights were expected to face disruption for the rest of the day, depending on how long the ground stop lasted. Its latest update says that disruption will run into Saturday.
