American Airlines has announced that their fleet will temporarily be powered by flying reindeer after a catastrophic software glitch grounded their planes. The unprecedented move, dubbed “Operation Rudolph,” will see teams of eight reindeer pulling passenger aircraft across the skies, with Santa Claus himself rumored to oversee logistics.

“Our pilots are fully trained to steer reindeer-propelled planes,” said American Airlines spokesperson Holly Tinsel. “This solution combines cutting-edge holiday cheer with carbon-neutral travel, so it’s actually a win-win.”

The reindeer are reportedly in intensive training at an undisclosed location. Early reports indicate Dasher and Dancer are already exceeding FAA speed requirements, while Prancer is struggling with turbulence-related performance anxiety. Rudolph, however, has been sidelined due to a laser-light show licensing dispute.

Passengers remain skeptical. “I don’t feel great about my safety being tied to something powered by carrots and Christmas spirit,” said frequent flyer Carol Frost.

To reassure travelers, American Airlines is offering complimentary eggnog and cookies on all reindeer-powered flights, though many have raised concerns about how the inflight Wi-Fi will function at sleigh altitude.

The FAA has yet to comment on whether this mode of travel meets current aviation safety standards, but insiders say they’re “reindeer-giously optimistic.”
