The Federal Aviation Administration's nationwide ground stop is affecting Scotland's aviation sector, per the BBC. All US departures were held due to air traffic control communications failures, reports Reuters.
Flight operations in the UK are now under scrutiny as the US outage continues, with officials monitoring the situation closely, notes the Guardian. The grounding affects both domestic and international flights.
The FAA has not yet lifted the advisory, which extends through 04:00 UTC, according to the latest updates from the BBC. The cause is confirmed as frequency issues, not a cyberattack.
International long-haul flights have begun departing US airports after the ground stop, as reported by ABC7. The situation remains under review with potential delays expected for some time.
