Suryaa Now International News Desk: A technical crisis in the United States airspace has caused significant disruptions for air travelers. Following a failure in the communication systems at Air Traffic Control (ATC) centers, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a nationwide "ground stop" order for all departing flights due to safety concerns.
This sudden decision resulted in major disruptions to over 11,000 flights across the country. Of these, more than 1,000 flights were canceled, while approximately 10,000 flights experienced delays. Authorities permitted 4,042 aircraft that were already in the air at the time of the order to land safely. Passengers at airports faced hours of waiting. This marks the second time since the September 11, 2001, attacks that a nationwide ground stop has been issued for flights in the United States.
