The FAA issued a nationwide ground stop affecting all U.S. Airports starting at 20:53 UTC, per ABC News and ABC News reports.

The advisory, numbered 111, halted all departures and managed inbound international flights on a case-by-case basis due to air traffic control communications issues, according to the FAA.

Nearly 5,000 flights were cancelled during the stop, which lasted about four hours and thirty-five minutes before being lifted at 01:28 UTC on November 14, as reported by Bloomberg and Axios.
