A briefly issued groundstop for all JetBlue flights was canceled within an hour on Tuesday 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.

The FAA had said the flight halt was issued at the request of JetBlue.

New York-headquartered JetBlue serves over 110 destinations across the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America, Canada and Europe.
