A nationwide flight suspension in the United States caused hours of chaos at airports, affecting more than 20,000 flights. The Federal Aviation Administration later lifted the ban, and air traffic began to gradually resume. svet.sme.sk ↗
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated that the problem was related to outdated air traffic control technology and data transmission equipment. He later said the outage followed the modernization of copper cables. Authorities are also examining whether a technical error occurred during installation or whether a faulty router was used. BBC News ↗
During the shutdown, nearly 7,000 flights were canceled or delayed. Airlines had to adjust schedules and relocate aircraft and crews. The problems also affected some connections between the United States and Ireland, as well as flights from European airports. Le Figaro ↗
Duffy sought to assure the public that flying remains safe. He thanked air traffic controllers, flight crews, airport authorities and passengers for their patience. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated that the incident did not appear to be related to a security threat or a coordinated cyberattack. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
The resumption of operations did not mean an immediate return to normal. Authorities and airlines warned that delays and flight cancellations could continue until the accumulated backlog in flight schedules is cleared. RTE News ↗
