American Airlines said it had resumed flights Tuesday evening after briefly grounding its fleet of jets because of a “technology issue.”

“A technology issue briefly impacted connectivity for some of our systems on Tuesday evening,” the airline said in its post and in a statement to CNET. “Systems are coming back online now and flights are departing again.
