NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG) -- The Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide groundstop order for all airports on Friday, without offering additional information.
The FAA said in an advisory notice on its website that the halt was “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.” Departing flights should remain grounded until further notice, the agency said.
The FAA has issued a nationwide departure ground stop “due to several impacts to ATC Frequencies and/or Radar capabilities,” the Air Current reported, referring to air traffic control systems. The FAA command center said it does not have further information on the “timing or cause of this outage,” the publication said.
