And suppose how many people got their flights canceled and how many calls would reach the customer service department. Such a busy network is making it hard to contact American Airlines. Following are the attributed reasons behind:-

Departmental:- Some shortcomings have also been reported in the news in the State government Air Traffic Control department.
