Canada told whether the US will help after the largest failure in civil aviation

The Canadian Air Traffic Control Service (Nav Canada) said it was ready to guarantee the safe movement of aircraft forced to change their route in its airspace. This happens against the background of large-scale technical problems and a temporary stop of flights in the United States, the press service of the organization said.

A spokesman for the agency said Canada's air traffic control service continues to routinely monitor flight safety in national airspace, including any aircraft that may be diverted from a neighboring country.

Earlier, the press service of the American aviation regulator FAA reported on the introduction of a nationwide moratorium on takeoffs from all airports in the United States. This decision was based on the need to ensure security in the face of emergency circumstances, and it was clarified that the service of arriving international flights will be carried out individually. Subsequently, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy explained that the reason for the ban on takeoffs was a large-scale failure in the operation of communication systems that affected all regional air traffic control centers.

These restrictive measures began to operate at 15:53 Eastern time (23:53 Moscow time). According to preliminary estimates, their action will last until 23:00-23:30 (07:00-07:30 MSK Saturday).
