The Federal Aviation Administration grounded all JetBlue flights due to a request from the airline on Tuesday, the agency said in a notice.
The ground stop impacted flights to all destinations, according to the advisory.
The groundstop for all JetBlue flights was canceled within an hour by the US Federal Aviation Administration after the airline said it had resolved a “system outage.”
“A brief system outage has been resolved and we have resumed operations,” a spokesperson for JetBlue said in a statement, without providing further details.
It was not immediately clear why JetBlue requested the ground stop or how long it would last.
The airline's headquarters is in New York City and its flagship terminal is at the city's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Major airlines often face outages that cause widespread chaos for travelers.
In October, Alaska Airlines had to ground its planes for hours because of an information technology outage. Three months earlier, Alaska grounded all of its flights for about three hours after the failure of a critical piece of hardware at a data center.
In August a technology issue prompted United Airlines to ground planes at major U.S. airports and more than 1,000 flights were delayed. The system outage, as the company described it, lasted several hours.
In 2024, Delta Air Lines struggled for several days to recover from a worldwide technology outage caused by a faulty software update. The outage also affected other airlines, hospitals, and businesses worldwide.
JetBlue recently came under fire when passengers had to be rushed to the hospital after a sudden drop in altitude, causing at least 15 people to be hospitalized.
After an investigation by the FAA, the drop in altitude was possibly caused intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls on the A320 family of aircraft.
