All American Airlines flights in the US are currently grounded

If you're traveling for the holidays today, I hope you're not flying on American Airlines. As of this morning, the airline said on X that all of its flights were currently grounded, with no current time table for when flights will resume. As The Verge notes, a notice posted by the Federal Aviation Administration confirms that there is a "nationwide groundstop" for all AA flights; it also says that this stoppage is at "company request." 

We're currently experiencing a technical issue with all American Airlines flights. Your safety is our utmost priority, once this is rectified, we'll have you safely on your way to your destination.

Naturally, loads of people are freaking out about this on X and Threads, but aside from the FAA notice and American Airlines' post on X, there's no word on what is wrong or when things might change. And while Christmas Eve isn't the busiest travel day of the year, that's cold comfort for everyone stuck at an airport this morning. We're reaching out to American Airlines for more info and will update this story if anything changes.
