American Airlines has grounded all flights across the United States on Christmas Eve due to a technical issue. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has confirmed a nationwide groundstop affecting all airports.
The disruption comes during one of the busiest travel days of the year, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. The airline has stated that it is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
This incident follows a similar event in July when American Airlines experienced an IT crash caused by a faulty software update, leading to widespread flight delays and cancellations.
Passengers are advised to check with the airline for updates on flight schedules and travel arrangements.
