The US Federal Aviation Administration ordered a nationwide ground stop on Friday, November 13, after a telecommunications outage affected air traffic control operations. Flights already airborne were allowed to land, while departures were suspended, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed the order followed a communication issue. Reports said more than 1,000 departures were cancelled and nearly 10,000 delayed, and US-bound flights from Eurocontrol nations, including Israel, were halted at the FAA's request. Homeland security officials said there was no indication as of yet that the outage was a nefarious attack, and authorities were working to resolve the disruption. The FAA said international flights would be managed on a case-by-case basis.
