The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a ground stop for American Airlines flights on Tuesday due to an IT outage. The FAA and American Airlines did not immediately comment on the ground stop, which was issued around 6:30 p.m. ET. American Airlines stated on social media that their IT team is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
The ground stop means that flights cannot depart until the issue is resolved. This comes as many U.S. East Coast airports are experiencing significant delays and ground stops due to thunderstorms.
