U.S. Aviation: Flights resume after major disruption

Following a prolonged shutdown that led to the cancellation of thousands of flights, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a return to routine operations. As reported by the BBC and the Edmonton Journal, the grounding was described as the most significant disruption of its kind since the September 11 attacks. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy attributed the incident to a failure that occurred during the replacement of aging copper infrastructure with fiber optics, which led to a data overload and system crash. Authorities have clarified that there is no evidence of a cyber-attack. Although the ground stop has been lifted, significant delays persist at airports nationwide. Further details have not yet been released.
