The official explanation for halting all of their flights cites a technical issue and safety concerns, the airline posted to X just after 6:30 a.m.
Scripps News reports The grounding comes just months after a global tech outage sent airlines and other institutions into mayhem. The Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike later said a bug in a software update caused the disruptions
At Gerald R Ford International Airport, two departures and two arrivals are delayed by about 30 minutes each, but all other flights are on time.
