The US Federal Aviation Administration halted all departing flights across the United States on Friday, November 13, until further notice. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the stop followed a communication issue affecting the country's air traffic control centres. The FAA said all departing traffic should remain grounded until further notice, and technicians are investigating the cause. Duffy said the problem involved air traffic control communications, and no further details on the cause or restart timing were given in the reports.
