The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a nationwide ground stop at all airports “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.”
According to the advisory from the FAA Friday, all aircraft operators were told “by order of the Federal Aviation Command Center” that airports were ground stopped and all departing traffic should remain grounded “until further notice.”
“Inbound flights will be managed on a case by case basis,” the alert stated.
Moments earlier, both major airports in Chicago were listed under a ground stop due to an “equipment outage.”
Further details on the reason for the nationwide stop were not immediately clear.
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy confirmed the ground stop saying it followed “a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers.”
“FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them,” he said.
