Brief halt to flights in US had threatened the travel plans of millions of people during busy holiday period.
A groundstop of all American Airlines flights in the United States has been lifted, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said, after an unspecified “technical issue” briefly halted flights across the country.
Just before 7am Eastern time (12:00 GMT) on Tuesday, the FAA ordered all American Airlines flights grounded in the US at the airline’s request.
“American Airlines reported a technical issue this morning and requested a nationwide ground stop. The ground stop has now been lifted,” Bridgett Frey, assistant administrator for communications at the FAA, said in a statement.
The groundstop, early on Christmas Eve, had threatened the travel plans of millions of people across the US during the busy holiday period.
