As Fox News reported after a conversation with the US president, Donald Trump does not consider the reasons for the restrictive measures introduced by the Civil Aviation Administration to be a cyber attack or the actions of artificial intelligence. Earlier, US Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told reporters that law enforcement officers had no information about malicious activity as a reason for grounding flights.

The FAA has announced a nationwide suspension of departures from all US airports due to emergency and safety concerns - inbound international flights will be handled on a case-by-case basis. The restrictions due to a widespread communication failure went into effect at 15:53 ​​Eastern Time (23:53 Moscow time) and are temporarily scheduled until 23:00–23:30 (07:00–07:30 Moscow time on Saturday).

Aviation analytics company Cirium estimates that the flight ban affected more than 1.5 million passengers.
