The Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop affecting all US departures, per ABC News. The FAA Command Center ordered the advisory 111 at 20:53 UTC, holding all flights until 04:00 UTC.

Officials cite an air traffic control communications outage as the cause, with no indication of a nefarious attack, reports ABC News. The issue stemmed from frequency problems across the system.

Nearly 5,000 flights were cancelled during the stop, and delays are expected to continue, according to Business Insider. JetBlue cancelled most of its remaining flights, per the NY Post.

International departures resumed at LAX at 00:40 UTC, as reported by ABC7. The ground stop affected major hubs including JFK, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
