While we were sleeping, all plane flights were grounded in the United States.
More than 15 thousand flights were delayed or canceled in Israel due to the malfunction. The ban lasted more than four hours. The Federal Aviation Administration explained that the flights were canceled due to a failure in the flight control system.
The failure occurred due to an attempt to update aging infrastructure, US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said. Only the attempt to introduce modern technologies burdened the old system. Duffy called on Congress to allocate $50 billion to update infrastructure.
Flights are now resuming.
