American Airlines on Tuesday grounded all its flights in the US over an unspecified technical issue, causing chaos for thousands flying on Christmas Eve.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that American Airlines requested a ground stop for all its flights, according to ABC News.
However, neither the FAA nor American have immediately detailed what forced the unexpected stop.
The company has replied to some distressed travelers questioning the issue on social media.
“An estimated timeframe has not been provided, but they’re trying to fix it in the shortest possible time,” the company said in a post on X, responding to a question from a stranded flyer.
