American Adds Flights to Curb Delays From U.S. Grounding

American Airlines added five flights today as employees worked to rebuild U.S. schedules and accommodate passengers stranded in yesterday’s grounding.

The extra trips, coupled with the scrubbing of about 100 flights as American shuffled flight crews and planes, showed the lingering effects of a computer outage that sidelined the carrier’s U.S. fleet. Three flights were added between Chicago and Dallas, one from Dallas to Los Angeles and another from Miami to Los Angeles, said Andrea Huguely, a spokeswoman.
