Flights have been grounded across the US due to an air traffic control "communication issue", Transport Secretary Sean Duffy says

US aviation officials earlier issued an order to ground all flights due to "extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety"

A little snippet from Al Jazeera:

Quote:

This is the first nationwide US ground stop since January 2023, when a key FAA computer system malfunctioned. Before that, the last time had been after the September 11, 2001, attacks.

That last bit could be worrying if they've got a sniff of something . .

edit:

US DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin is speaking to reporters at the White House. He says there is no indication this was an attack against the United States.

"This is a telecommunications outage," he says.

"All the flights are accounted for," he says.
