FAA ~ Nationwide Ground Stop
LIVE WELL ~ LOVE MUCH ~ LAUGH OFTEN
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a nationwide ground stop for all departing flights across U.S. airports due to a temporary telecommunications and air traffic control communication outage.
Reason: A telecommunications and frequency communication issue impacting Air Route Traffic Control Centers nationwide.
Safety & Security: Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and the FAA confirmed there is no indication of a cyberattack, security threat, or "nefarious" activity.
Flight Status: All departing flights are ordered to stay on the ground, while planes already airborne are allowed to continue to their destinations. Inbound international flights are being managed on a case-by-case basis.
Impact: The rare order has triggered widespread delays and cancellations at major hubs. No immediate resolution timetable has been announced.
