🔸 On Friday, November 13, the Federal Aviation Organization of the United States issued an order to stop all flights departing from this country "due to the exceptional conditions and Yemeni considerations".
According to reports, more than seven thousand flights were delayed or canceled.
America's Secretary of Homeland Security, Marquin Mullin, told reporters at the White House that there is no reason to believe there is a ground attack or destructive threat against the United States.
In response to the question of whether it can be established that a cyber ground attack was the cause of this disruption, he said, "As of now, the authorities are not ruling out any possibility."
🔸 Robert Mann, aviation analyst and director of R.W. Mann and Partners told Reuters: "If the suspension continues into the evening [Friday US time], it will likely take the entire weekend to clear the disruptions to the airline's flight network.
Friday was the second nationwide shutdown of all outbound flights since the September 11, 2001 attacks. Another occurred in January 2023, when the US Federal Aviation Administration audited all domestic flights for less than two hours.
