Three major American airlines will ground all flights across the country after a global cyber outage has created chaos for commuters.
United, Delta and American Airlines requested the Federal Aviation Administration issue a "global ground stop" amid the widespread problems, according to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's status page.
No new flights will take off but services currently in the air will remain flying.
Hell yea @Delta everyone is angry and confused. At least we won’t miss our flight since you’ve grounded them all pic.twitter.com/qPYuUMc6f1

It is understood the airlines flagged a "communication issue" to the FAA.
Despite the call from the major carriers, more than 200 American Airlines flights are 'live' on FlightRadar24.
More than 110 United flights and 120 Delta planes showed as 'live' on the tracker at the time of publishing.
Alongside the three major US carriers, ultra low cost carrier Frontier Airlines - which earlier in the day experienced the tech issues - also issued a ground stop call.
In Australia, the outage has grounded Jetstar flights and there are reports surfacing on social media sites that some European airports have also been impacted.
Both Sydney and Melbourne airports confirmed they were experiencing check-in issues at terminals and urged travellers to allow extra time before their flight.

Brisbane Airport made a similar plea to travellers and announced its flights were still operating via the airlines' back-up systems.
"Despite a global IT issue, flights are continuing to land and take-off from BNE," the airport wrote.
"Airlines impacted by IT issues are using back-up systems to keep passengers moving. Allow a little extra time if you’re travelling tonight. Airport information screens are operational."
The major Aussie carriers were all impacted by the outage with reports of Qantas passengers being told at check-in to 'Google' if their flight had been impacted.
"Qantas (is) telling passengers to Google their flight to find out when it leaves and at what gate because everything is down," one passenger wrote on X.
