The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered a nationwide ground stop for all flights across the United States following a temporary telecommunications outage that officials say raised safety concerns.
Federal authorities have stressed that the disruption is not linked to any security threat, cyberattack, or the recent Microsoft-related technology issues. Homeland Security officials say preliminary assessments indicate the outage was caused by a communications systems failure rather than malicious activity.
President Donald Trump has been briefed on the situation as aviation authorities work to restore normal operations.
Officials have not provided a timeline for resolving the problem, warning that restoring the affected systems could take time. Meanwhile, passengers at major airports nationwide are facing growing delays and cancellations as airlines begin notifying travelers of the unprecedented disruption.
The FAA says the ground stop will remain in effect until further notice while safety checks and system restoration efforts continue.
