American Airlines resumes flights after brief ground stop on Christmas Eve
American Airlines has resumed flights after a brief ground stop caused by a technical glitch. The issue lasted about an hour on Christmas Eve, affecting travel for many passengers during a busy holiday period. The glitch was linked to a vendor's technology problem, which impacted the airline's ability to dispatch flights. This incident follows previous disruptions in the airline industry, including a major outage affecting Delta Air Lines earlier this year. American Airlines operates thousands of flights daily and has canceled over 23,000 flights this year. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the airline reported a technical issue but did not provide further details.
