FAA Ground Stop Impacts DFW
The FAA imposed a national ground stop at 20:53 UTC, holding all US departures while managing inbound international flights individually, per Reuters and PBS reports.
The cause is attributed to air traffic control communications outages, or 'frequency issues,' as noted by the FAA. No signs of a malicious attack.
Flight N1JM is climbing out of DFW at 7,900 ft, heading northwest, while several other aircraft are in various stages of departure or approach. The national disruption has impacted all major hubs including SFO and DFW.
Searches for 'faa' have spiked globally, reaching over 10,000 in India, and 'us flights' in Ireland and Australia. Microsoft's worldwide outage is in its second day but not connected to the FAA issue.
