Lots of holiday spirit at Logan Airport on Tuesday, countering a grinch-like event.
American Airlines grounded its flights across the country around 7:30 a.m. Monday because of a technical problem.
The pause came at a pivotal time, Christmas Eve, when many travelers are flying to make it in time for the big day.
After about an hour American Airlines were cleared to resume flights causing some delays and stress.
“We saw [the cancellations] this morning when we had coffee, like ‘oh no you gotta be kidding me American’, but luckily it only lasted like an hour and we’re only at about a 30 minute delay right, now keeping our fingers crossed,” traveler Scott Harrill said.
Harill’s family also got caught up in the winter weather on Friday when they were traveling to Massachusetts, but their pilot gave out candy and that smoothed things over.
As for Monday morning’s hiccup, American Airlines blames a “vendor technology issue”, apologizing to customers, adding they have all hands on deck to get people where they need to go.
