US Airline Outage: US Flights Set To Resume After Air Traffic Network Failure Triggers Chaos

Air travel across the United States is gradually returning to normal after a major air traffic communications failure forced the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to issue a rare nationwide ground stop. The outage disrupted air traffic control operations across the country, leading to thousands of flight cancellations and delays and leaving passengers stranded at airports nationwide. After hours of disruption, the FAA lifted the ground stop and airlines began restoring operations. Officials stressed there was no evidence of a cyberattack and said the issue was linked to a communications failure within the air traffic network.
