Departing flights have been grounded over what the FAA called "extraordinary circumstances" and "reasons of safety."
'FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them.'
"All departing traffic should remain ground stopped until further notice," the air traffic control advisory said.
"Inbound international flights will be managed on a case by case basis," the FAA added.
At 4:16 p.m. Friday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a statement on X about the stoppage.
"The @FAAnews issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers," he wrote. "FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them."

A similar ground stop was issued by the FAA in Jan. 2023 that delayed 4,600 flights and canceled another 567 flights.
The FAA had said in a post on social media at the time it needed time to "validate the integrity of flight and safety information."

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
