Passengers traveling on a domestic American Eagle service between Chicago and Washington, D.C had their journey rerouted to Columbus, Ohio, due to a mechanical issue that was identified with the aircraft's windscreen shortly after takeoff. The aircraft was able to land safely and was taken out of service to be reviewed and inspected by the airline's ground maintenance team.

The flight, operating as AA4435 on Tuesday, November 10, had departed from Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) almost two hours late, with an expected flight time of just over one hour to the nation's capital. Passengers displaced by the diversion were placed on a replacement aircraft and ferried to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).
