The FAA ordered a nationwide ground stop at 20:53 UTC due to air traffic control communications issues, per ABC7 and PBS reports. All US departures were held, with inbound international flights handled on a case-by-case basis.

The advisory remained in effect until approximately 01:28 UTC on 14 Nov, after about four hours and thirty-five minutes, Axios, and AP news outlets. Nearly 5,000 flights were cancelled during the outage, with JetBlue cancelling most of its remaining flights as reported by the NY Post.

The ground stop has disrupted operations across major hubs including LAX and JFK, with delays expected to persist.

International long-haul flights began departing US airports from 22:23 UTC, as reported by ABC7. The outage's cause was confirmed as a communications problem, not linked to solar activity or Microsoft’s global outage, according to Reuters and People.
