Newark NJ, travelers across the U.S. faced disruptions Tuesday morning as American Airlines temporarily grounded flights due to a technical issue. The incident comes during a peak holiday travel season, with carriers expecting record-breaking demand.
Ground Stop Overview
The nationwide ground stop, which began early Tuesday, lasted approximately one hour before being lifted at 7:55 a.m. ET, according to an American Airlines spokeswoman.
“A technical issue is affecting American flights this morning,” the airline said in a statement. “Our teams are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and we apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.”
The problem was traced back to a third-party platform, which has since been resolved, allowing flights to resume.
Apology and Resolution
American Airlines issued a follow-up statement acknowledging the inconvenience caused by the disruption:
“That issue has been resolved, and flights have resumed. We sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience this morning.”
FAA Involvement and Ground Stop Protocol
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that the ground stop was requested by American Airlines. Ground stops are standard airline procedures used to prevent congestion at destination airports during operational disruptions, such as technical issues or severe weather.
Impact on Holiday Travel
This disruption comes at a critical time, as millions of Americans prepare to travel for the holidays. While flights resumed quickly, the brief halt underscores the importance of technological reliability in ensuring smooth operations during peak travel periods.
Key Takeaways for Travelers

Airline travel used to be pleasant, and passengers would dress nicely
After Peoples Express, the people who belong on busses began to use the airlines. Nothing more disgusting than a slob in a track suit (like al sharpton with his medallian during the tawana brawley scam)
