U.S. Airport Disruptions
U.S. airports experienced their longest flight stoppage in 25 years on November 13, 2026, after an outage in communications and data systems forced the Federal Aviation Administration to halt takeoffs for more than four hours. The disruption led to the cancellation of around 5,000 flights and delays to more than 10,000, while $50 billion in funding was sought to modernize infrastructure. The most notable earlier outages include the failure of the NOTAM pilot-notification system in January 2023, which halted flights for about 90 minutes and resulted in more than 1,300 cancellations and over 10,000 delays; and the CrowdStrike update glitch in July 2024, which disrupted airline operations and stranded travelers for days. The broadest shutdown in history occurred on September 11, 2001, for security reasons, when U.S. airspace was closed and aircraft were ordered to land, with takeoffs banned for several days.
