Transportation secretary said stoppage is due to ‘communication issue’ and homeland security says there’s no indication of ‘nefarious attack’
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a nationwide ground stop for all flights that are due to take off in the US on Friday, delaying or canceling nearly 7,000 US flights, according to aviation tracker FlightAware.
In a post on X, Sean Duffy, the US transportation secretary, said the stoppage is due to “a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers” and that the FAA’s technicians are looking into the matter.
