The FAA issued a groundstop for ?all JetBlue flights on Tuesday morning, but the stop was cancelled within one hour.
The airline was reportedly dealing with a system ?outage, but it was lifted about 40 minutes after it was issued, according to AP news. The company resumed normal operations shortly after. The FAA claims that it issued the ground stop at JetBlue’s request. This means the disturbance happened on the airline’s side instead of it being a broader issue.”A brief system outage ?has been resolved and we have resumed operations,” said a JetBlue spokesperson ?in a statement.
Neither the FAA nor JetBlue provided further details on the ground stop after it was lifted, according to Aerotime. While short, it did halt all departures in JetBlue’s network, which has over 110 destinations across ?the United States, ?the ?Caribbean, Latin America, Canada and Europe. Similar system disruptions have happened before and even short ones like this can heavily affect scheduling, especially for airlines with densely packed schedules.
