(Reuters) -American Airlines on Tuesday grounded all its flights in the U.S. due to an unspecified technical issue, according to the company and a notice on the Federal Aviation Administration website. Shares of the carrier were down 3.8% before the bell.
“An estimated timeframe has not been provided, but they’re trying to fix it in the shortest possible time,” the company said in a post on X, responding to a question from a stranded flyer.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration was not immediately available for further comment.
