The FAA ordered a nationwide ground stop on Friday, halting all departing flights across the United States for more than four hours after a telecommunications outage hit air traffic control centers. More than thirteen thousand flights were delayed or cancelled and over eight hundred diverted, in the first nationwide stop since January 2023. Officials say there is no sign of a cyberattack, blaming aging equipment, and the stop has now been lifted — but delays are expected to continue into the weekend.
