US: Flight disruptions due to technical failure
The US Federal Aviation Administration grounded nationwide departures due to a communications failure; Washington clarified it is not a terrorist event.
The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered a ground stop for all departing flights nationwide due to a technical failure in communication systems, according to reports by the Jerusalem Post and Maariv. International flights are being managed on a case-by-case basis, and carriers such as American Airlines expect disruptions to persist throughout the day.
US Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin clarified that the suspension is not related to a terrorist attack, seeking to calm public concern following the widespread grounding. However, officials noted that they are not excluding any possibilities regarding the root cause of the outage. Further details have not yet been released.
