American Airlines briefly grounded flights nationwide Tuesday due to a technical issue just as the Christmas travel season kicks into high gear.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the company requested a ground stop just before 7 a.m. Eastern for all of its flights. The ground stop was lifted around 8 a.m. Eastern.

“A vendor technology issue briefly affected flights this morning. That issue has been resolved and flights have resumed," American Airlines said in a statement. "We sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience this morning. It’s all hands on deck as our team is working diligently to get customers where they need to go as quickly as possible.”
