FAA Ground Stop Impacts Bahamas

The Federal Aviation Administration's nationwide ground stop is affecting Nassau's airport, per wabe.org. All US-bound flights are halted as air traffic control communications fail due to frequency issues.

Officials in Nassau confirm the grounding has disrupted local flight operations, with no indication of a cyberattack, reports PBS. The FAA has not yet lifted the advisory, which extends through 04:00 UTC.

The Bahamas' aviation sector is now under similar strain.

The outage stems from frequency issues, not a cyberattack, per the FAA and Reuters. Microsoft's worldwide outage is in its second day but has been confirmed unrelated to air traffic control failures.
