American Airlines had to ground all its flights across the US for several hours on Tuesday due to a fault with its computerised reservation system.

美国航空公司周二因订票系统发生故障，停飞了所有国内航班达数小时。

The carrier halted all departures from about 13:30 ET (18:30 GMT), saying that it was working ""to resolve this issue as quickly as we can".

American fixed¹ the problem three hours later, but warned that it expected to see delays and cancelations continue for the remainder of the day.

About 900 flights were affected².

American said it would offer refunds³ and allow passengers to change flights for free.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which regulates civil aviation in the US, confirmed that American had asked to halt its flights while the problem was rectified⁴.

One traveller at Dallas-Fort Worth, Julie Burch, told Associated Press: "Tensions are high. A lot of people are getting mad. I've seen several yelling at the American agents."
