Christmas Eve travelers using American Airlines in and out of CHO in the morning are keeping their eyes on the “arrival” and “departure” boards as American Airlines announced all flights for a period of the morning grounded nationwide because of a “technical issue”. As of 8am, the only change on the CHO board was an 8:38am arrival from Charlotte postponed until 9:53am. American flights earlier in the morning departed on-time, and the next scheduled American departure at 9:03am, as of 8am, was still listed as departing as scheduled.
