Holiday travel chaos loomed briefly on Tuesday as a technical glitch grounded all American Airlines flights across the U.S. for an hour.
American Airlines experienced a widespread disruption to its operations on Tuesday morning, citing a “technical issue” that impacted flights across the country just as travelers prepared for a busy Christmas Eve.
In response to the disruption, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that American Airlines had requested a ground stop for all of its flights. This grounding of aircraft affected flights nationwide, creating delays and uncertainty for many passengers.
American Airlines took to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to inform the public about the issue. The airline wrote, “We’re currently experiencing a technical issue with all American Airlines flights.” The airline reassured customers, emphasizing their commitment to safety: “Your safety is our utmost priority. Once this is rectified, we’ll have you safely on your way to your destination.”
As this situation develops, travelers are left waiting for updates on the resolution of the technical issue. American Airlines has not yet provided an estimated timeline for when flights will resume.
This is a developing story, further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
