Umm…
All #flights in the #US are grounded until further notice, “due to extraordinary circumstances & for reasons of safety,” the #FAA said in a statement.
The cause of the ground stop was not immediately clear, but an FAA spokesperson says there is a communications problem impacting Air Route Traffic Control Centers, which handle flights going across the country.

I mean even if they did you’d think there would be alternative options for something like planes in the air / national travel / business etc
@Nonilex one would definitely hope …
@Nonilex I wonder if it’s the AI they’ve incorporated or the gamer kids they’ve hired or all the talent they fired in the DOGE sweeps. Maybe…
@Nonilex so it's getting worse
“Traffic should remain ground stopped until further notice,” the #FAA said in an advisory. “International flights will be managed on a case by case basis.”
The last time there was a nationwide ground stop in January of 2023 when a pilot notification system went down. Prior to that, the last time a nationwide ground stop was issued was after the #September11, 2001 attacks.
Shortly before the announcement, the #FAA halted traffic in #Chicago due to air traffic control communications issues. The agency said, "All departing traffic should remain groundstopped until further notice."

I wonder is that in any way related to recent Microsoft problems or is it just weird coincidence. 🤔
“All departing traffic should remain ground stopped until further notice,” the official advisory read, adding that the landings of inbound international #flights would be managed on a case-by-case basis.
Shortly after the advisory was posted, an #FAA #website that lists air traffic control system notices appeared to have gone #down, erasing dozens of notices that previously had been listed.

Me∶ they are citing a “communications” issue. That could mean ANYTHING.
Possibilities that spring to mind that would lead to a national air travel grounding∶
A cyberattack. Or a credible terrorism threat.
