American Airlines had said a “technical issue” had delayed all of its flights in the United States. But the company began boarding flights again at around 8 am ET, airline spokeswoman Sarah Jantz told CNN. In an updated statement later Tuesday morning, American said a “vendor technology issue” caused the problems and that has since “been resolved and flights have resumed.” “It’s all hands on deck as our team is working diligently to get customers where they need to go as quickly as possible,” the airline said. The Federal Aviation Administration lifted its nationwide groundstop order for all American flights. The FAA in a statement said American requested a nationwide ground stop but it referred all questions to the airline for more information. “We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience,” American Airlines said in a statement.

The FAA in a statement said American requested a nationwide ground stop but it referred all questions to the airline for more information. “We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience,” American Airlines said in a statement. The outage came on a day when the airline is scheduled to have more than 3,300 domestic flights, according to the aviation analytics firm Cirium. The airline resumed service with residual delays but without a substantial number of cancelations. Just 26 flights across all airlines were canceled nationwide, according to data tracker FlightAware. More than 1,000 flights into, within and out of the United States were delayed – a number that picked up shortly after the American outage, but it could also be caused by airport congestion and some winter weather in the Northeast. ‘
