FAA Grounds All US Flights
The FAA has ordered a national ground stop for all US departures, effective at 20:53 UTC, per Reuters and PBS reports. The advisory, labeled 111, holds all outbound flights while managing inbound international cases individually.
The cause is attributed to air traffic control communications outages, or 'frequency issues,' as noted by the FAA. Costar.com confirms no signs of a malicious attack, and the ground stop remains in effect according to latest updates.
The national disruption has impacted all major hubs including SFO.
The FAA's Command Center continues to manage the situation, with no indication of an immediate resolution. Searches for 'faa' have spiked globally, reaching over 10,000 in India, and 'us flights' in Ireland and Australia.
