American Airlines stock slips on Storm Ezra chaos — what traders watch before the open

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 02:33 ET — Market closed American Airlines Group Inc shares fell on Monday as Winter Storm Ezra triggered widespread flight delays and cancellations during the peak holiday travel rush.
