Glitch Halts U.S. Flights
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration halted departures from all airports across the country on Friday after a communications outage affected air traffic control facilities, while about 3,100 aircraft were in the air. Aircraft were asked to hold in designated patterns while awaiting landing, and incoming international flights were handled individually. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said technicians were investigating the outage, noting that the decision was made for safety reasons after problems began in Chicago. This is the second nationwide ground stop since the September 11, 2001 attacks. It comes after Congress had already approved $12.5 billion to modernize the communications system, while the administration and the White House requested an additional $30.1 billion.
