American Airlines grounds all U.S. flights on Christmas Eve due to technical issue

deadline.com — December 24, 2024 at 02:01 PM UTC

American Airlines has grounded all U.S. flights on Christmas Eve due to a "technical issue." The airline confirmed the problem and is working to resolve it, apologizing for the inconvenience to passengers. The Federal Aviation Administration reported that American Airlines requested a nationwide ground stop. Passengers at airports, including Fort Lauderdale, have shared complaints about delays and diversions on social media. This incident follows a similar situation in 2022 when Southwest Airlines faced major disruptions during the holiday season. That year, Southwest canceled over 16,900 flights due to operational issues.
