Nationwide Departure Halt at US Airports After Flight Control Glitch
In November 2026, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) temporarily halted all departures at US airports. According to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, the cause was communication problems in the air traffic control system. The government described the halt as a precautionary measure and initially found no indication of a cyberattack. After about four hours, the FAA lifted the ban. Tens of thousands of passengers were briefly stranded at airports, and thousands of flights were cancelled or delayed. It was only the second nationwide halt of US air traffic since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
