U.S. AIRLINES STRUGGLE TO RECOVER AFTER HISTORIC FAA GROUND STOP CANCELS MORE THAN 6,600 FLIGHTS
U.S. airlines are working through major weekend disruption after the FAA lifted a nationwide ground stop triggered by overloaded switches and routers in the country’s aging air traffic communications system. More than 6,600 flights were cancelled and about 8,600 delayed, while officials said there was no evidence so far of a cyberattack, although the investigation remained active. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has called on Congress to provide $50 billion to modernise the system, warning that legacy infrastructure could produce further outages if it is not comprehensively replaced.
