- 🇺🇸 The FAA ordered a halt to outbound flights on November 13 after a communications failure affected all 22 US air traffic control centers that manage flights between airports. As of Friday evening, about 10,200 flights had been delayed and more than 3,220 canceled, according to FlightAware data. Planes that had already been flown were allowed to continue landing.

The cause is still under investigation, with officials reporting no initial indication of a malicious attack. The disruption renewed scrutiny of aging aviation infrastructure as the White House requested an additional $30.1 billion for air traffic control and airport modernization. The FAA did not announce a reopening date until Friday evening, and missed connections and crew scheduling restrictions could extend the disruption after departures resume.
