American Airlines resumes flights after brief grounding due to technical issue
American Airlines resumed operations after a brief grounding due to a technical issue affecting its entire system. The Federal Aviation Administration ordered the halt early Tuesday at the airline's request, lasting about one hour. The grounding occurred during a busy travel period, with millions expected to fly for the holidays. American Airlines has not provided details on the technical issue that caused the disruption. Last December, Southwest Airlines faced a significant operational failure, highlighting the challenges airlines face during peak travel times. The brief outage could lead to cancellations and delays, impacting travelers during this busy season.
