On Christmas Eve, American Airlines experienced significant disruptions as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) temporarily grounded its flights due to a "technology issue." The incident caused widespread delays and cancellations, affecting numerous travelers during one of the busiest travel days of the year.
