A systemwide IT outage affected American Airlines flights nationwide. The issue caused flights to be held at airport gates across the country. The outage impacted the company's technological infrastructure, leading to a temporary ground stop.

This stop was later lifted at most US airports, although some flights were still being held in Charlotte. Further details about the outage and its resolution are available from American Airlines and the FAA. The airline reported that systems were coming back online and flights were departing again after the issue was addressed.
