All flights are grounded due to communication problems at the air traffic control centers of the US air routes.
"There was a temporary communication outage - out of an abundance of caution, all flights were stopped. Each flight has been handled and international flights will be handled on a case-by-case basis," the Federal Aviation Administration announced on X.
Over 3,300 flights were canceled and around 10,000 were delayed, with the disruptions expected to last until the end of the week.
This is the second time that all air traffic control centers in the US, responsible for directing aircraft, have been grounded since 9/11.
