FAA issues ground stop for AA flights to Philadelphia

“We are working to fix the situation as quickly as possible, but have had to issue a ground stop for Philadelphia in the meantime. We are continuing to check in passengers manually,” Katie Cody, a spokeswoman for American Airlines, said in an email to ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½.

Flights with other airlines into Philadelphia are operating as scheduled, as are American Airlines flights to other airports.
