The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an updated advisory Tuesday evening scaling back the nationwide ground stop on American Airlines flights after a systemwide IT outage disrupted operations across the carrier's network.
The revised FAA advisory limited restrictions to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) in North Carolina, one of the airline's largest hubs, signaling that the nationwide order has been lifted and allowing most American Airlines flights to resume.
American Airlines also issued updates saying system "connectivity has been fully restored" with flights "departing again."

We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience. We appreciate the efforts of our team to bring our systems back online so quickly and take care of our customers."
