A communication issue hit all Air Route Traffic Control Centers, prompting Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to announce the ground stop while technicians investigate. Flights already airborne could land, but departures stayed grounded nationwide—the second such action since 9/11. Officials ruled out a cyberattack so far, advising passengers to check with airlines amid the widespread delays.

Issued by the FAA just moments ago, ALL US airports are currently ground stopped. This means NO flights may depart for US airports. Flights already in the air will be allowed to land. This is related to an FAA equipment outage.
