Ground stop happened earlier also

Air travel in the US has been facing some pressure recently, as the government shutdown that began in early October has led to a shortage of air traffic controllers, causing flight delays at many airports.

This is the second IT glitch to affect the airline this year. Even in July, flights were halted for about three hours due to an IT problem.
