American Airlines has resumed flights after a nationwide groundstop due to a technical issue. The Federal Aviation Administration lifted the groundstop, which had disrupted travel plans for many passengers ahead of Christmas Eve. The airline did not specify the cause of the groundstop, which affected flights across the US. Passengers reported delays and flights returning to the gate. This incident follows previous disruptions in the airline industry, including a major outage affecting Southwest Airlines two years ago. American Airlines operates thousands of flights daily to over 350 destinations worldwide.
