The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has lifted a groundstop for American Airlines flights in the U.S. after a brief technical issue. The halt, requested by the airline, affected travel plans during the busy holiday season. The groundstop began early on Christmas Eve and was resolved by 7 a.m. Eastern time. American Airlines reported a technical issue impacting its flights but has since resumed operations. This incident follows previous disruptions in the airline industry, including a major tech outage last year. The Transportation Security Administration anticipates screening 40 million passengers during the holiday period.
