In the USA, departures from all airports were suspended: a malfunction was recorded in the control center system.
On November 13, the US Civil Aviation Administration (FAA) suspended take-offs from all airports in the country due to communication problems in the air traffic control system. The decision was made "due to exceptional circumstances and security reasons".
This was reported by the FAA, Reuters and Axios write.
Planes already in the air could land, but no plane on the ground could take off "until further notice." Arrivals for international flights will be coordinated on a case-by-case basis.
The FAA explained that the suspension of flights was announced due to communication problems that affected several air traffic control centers on the routes. Technical experts of the department are investigating the reasons for the failure.
