1. **Navigate to Aircraft Page**
   * Go to the Aircraft section in the administrator portal
   * Select the grounded aircraft from the list

2. **Locate Grounded Alert**
   * Look for the red alert banner at the top of the aircraft page
   * This alert displays the grounding status and reason

3. **Click Unground Button**
   * Click the "Unground" button within the red alert banner
   * An unground confirmation dialog will appear

4. **Confirm Ungrounding**
   * Review the aircraft details
   * Click "Confirm" to unground the aircraft

The aircraft will immediately become available for new bookings again and the grounded alert will disappear. The aircraft status will return to active and it can be scheduled for flights.

**Note:** Make sure all maintenance or issues that caused the grounding have been properly resolved before ungrounding the aircraft.
