The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered a nationwide suspension of flights following a disruption in the communication systems and radio frequencies of air traffic control centers. The problem has affected air traffic control centers across the country and led to the cancellation and delay of thousands of flights.
Reports indicate that more than 3,300 flights have been canceled and about 10,000 more flights have been delayed.
The European Aviation Safety Agency has also announced the suspension of European flights to the United States at the request of the country’s aviation authorities. Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington has also reached full capacity due to the influx of aircraft.
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the decision was due to a communications problem affecting air traffic control centers.
Donald Trump has also ruled out the possibility of a cyberattack, and officials from the FBI and the US Department of Homeland Security have said that there has been no evidence of a deliberate attack or criminal activity in this incident. Technical investigations are ongoing to clarify the root cause of the disruption.
