American Airlines lifted its nationwide ground stop Tuesday after a ‘technical issue’ on Christmas Eve.
The Federal Aviation Administration posted a nationwide ground stop order early Tuesday for all American flights at the request of the airline, according to an advisory notice.
Customers on social media began complaining early Tuesday morning that some flights were returning to their gates and that delays were about 90 minutes.
In one reply, the company said, “Our team is working to get this rectified so that you can be safely on your way to your family. Your continued patience is appreciated.”
American Airlines’ (AAL ) stock fell nearly 3% in premarket trading.
All flights are now back on schedule, allowing passengers to travel home for the holidays.
