Nationwide Ground Stop Lifted for American Airlines Following System-Wide IT Failure
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a temporary nationwide ground stop for American Airlines due to a major IT outage. The system failure affected the airline's flight planning tool, halting both mainline and regional affiliate operations across the country. Shortly after the order was given, the FAA confirmed the ground stop had been lifted. American Airlines acknowledged the disruption and stated it was working to resume normal service. However, the carrier warned passengers to expect residual delays and cancellations throughout its network as it recovered from the outage.
