American Airlines Group Inc.  , said a professional contractor problem was the cause of a small groundstop on all , U. S.  , flights on , Christmas Eve, one of the busiest days of the vacation travel time.
The pause, according to the ship, lasted for about an hour, but was fixed and flights have since resumed. It placed blame on an unnamed technical flaw for preventing the release of airlines.
The business expressed regret to its clients for the pain this morning in a statement. It’s all arms on board because our team is carefully pursuing users ‘ needs as quickly as possible.
The airport didn’t state if it expected any delays or other knock-on results.  , American Air , had 3, 320 private planes and 581 worldwide flights scheduled for the day, according to aircraft data provider Cirium.
American Airlines , shares fell 2.1 % to$ 16.88 as of , 9: 37 a. m.  , in , New York.
National Air , had said before it was experiencing professional concerns affecting all of its airlines, disrupting operations on a time where the , Federal Aviation Administration , expects to see about 30, 000 , U. S.  , planes across all companies.
According to some website reports, the flight was experiencing a applications malfunction that prevented it from calculating the weight and balance needs for its planes.
The event comes after , Delta Air Lines Inc.  , suffered a multi-day wiring in July affecting hundreds of tourists due to a software problem. And it is suggestive of a year-end panic at , Southwest Airlines Co.  , two years ago involving system system problems.
