JetBlue Airways requested a ground stop for all its flights in the United States on Tuesday morning due to a system outage, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The ground stop affected flights to all destinations, but operations resumed after approximately one hour.
The airline confirmed the issue in a statement, saying, 'A brief system outage has been resolved and we have resumed operations.' The cause of the outage was not immediately disclosed.
Passengers at US airports were advised to check their flight status for potential disruptions. A ground stop is an air traffic control order that temporarily halts departures.
JetBlue, founded over 25 years ago, is headquartered in New York City and operates its flagship terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
