The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a nationwide ground stop, halting all departures from US airports. The decision was made due to a communication failure affecting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the ground stop, stating that the FAA is investigating the issue and will provide updates as they become available.

The communication failure has impacted all air traffic control centers, prompting the FAA to take precautionary measures to ensure safety. The FAA has stated that arriving international flights will be handled on an individual basis, rather than being fully suspended.
🚨🇺🇸 THE FAA JUST ORDERED AIRCRAFT ACROSS AMERICA TO STAY ON THE GROUND, CITING “EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES.” That's the actual language being circulated from the Federal Aviation Command Center. “Due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.” All departing aircraft are instructed to remain grounded until further notice, with incoming international flights handled case by case. You don't ground an entire country's departing aircraft without a serious reason. And right now, nobody has publicly explained exactly what went wrong. Writer: Oliver
