American Airlines resumes flights as FAA lifts nationwide groundstop
cnn.com —
American Airlines has resumed flights after a brief outage caused by a vendor technology issue. The Federal Aviation Administration lifted a nationwide groundstop for American flights, which had delayed operations during a busy travel period. The outage affected American's Flight Operations System, leading to delays but only 26 cancellations across all airlines. The airline is working to minimize disruptions, with a smaller schedule and adequate staffing to support recovery. Travelers reported delays of about 90 minutes, with some flights returning to gates. Despite the issues, American Airlines' stock rebounded after the service was restored.
