American Airlines grounds flights for an hour on Christmas Eve due to technical issue

standard.co.uk — December 24, 2024 at 03:01 PM UTC

American Airlines flights were grounded for one hour on Christmas Eve due to a technical issue affecting the airline's system.

Flights were cleared to resume shortly after the grounding, but delays are expected as operations return to normal. American Airlines has not provided details about the technical issue that caused the disruption. The Transportation Security Administration anticipates screening 40 million passengers during the holiday season, which runs through January 2. The brief outage has raised concerns about cascading delays in an already busy travel period.
