Federal Aviation Administration says airplane departures can resume following nationwide ground stop

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lifted a nationwide ground stop on airplane departures, which was initiated due to "overloaded" and "outdated" air traffic control communication systems.
The incident, not attributed to a cyberattack, led to hundreds of flights being diverted and significantly disrupted travel plans for thousands of passengers across the U.S.
This marks the first nationwide ground stop since January 2023, underscoring persistent challenges with modernizing the government's aging air traffic control infrastructure.
Airlines anticipate continued disruptions as planes and crews are out of position, preventing an immediate return to normal operations despite the lifted order.
