The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a nationwide ground stop for all American Airlines flights Tuesday after the carrier reported a systemwide IT outage that disrupted operations across its network.
American Airlines acknowledged the outage in a statement posted to X.
“We’re currently experiencing a systemwide IT outage. Our IT team is working to get everything restored as quickly as possible.”
The airline has not said what caused the outage or how long the disruption is expected to last.
