16K Flights Canceled
Airlines canceled more than 16,000 flights in the United States on Friday and Saturday after a communications-system outage brought air traffic to a standstill for hours. Some 12,000 flights on Friday could not be rescheduled, and 4,000 to 5,000 of the 41,000 flights scheduled for Saturday were expected to be canceled. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed the crisis on the aging air traffic control system and a shortage of controllers, calling for $50 billion to modernize it. The Homeland Security secretary said there was no evidence so far of a cyberattack or an AI malfunction, while investigators had not ruled out either possibility.
