Air traffic to and from the United States has resumed, following a nationwide ground stop caused by a widespread technical malfunction in the communication systems of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This was reported by TVP Info and CNN.gr. The disruptions, which led to the cancellation of thousands of flights, were attributed by officials to a data overload that exposed failures in aging communications infrastructure. U.S. authorities emphasized that there is no indication of a cyberattack. Further details have not yet been released.
