US airport disruptions: Thousands of flights canceled

Thousands of flights were canceled or delayed across the United States over the weekend following a nationwide ground stop ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). According to reports by Folha de S.Paulo and i24NEWS, the failure caused heavy congestion at airports across the country, leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded. The systems managing air traffic control failed due to data overloads, resulting in an unusual suspension of air travel. U.S. authorities emphasized that there is no indication of a cyberattack. Further details regarding the expected timeline for a full return to normal operations have not yet been released.
