In the United States banned departures at all airports: named the reason

The Federal Aviation Administration has officially announced a nationwide moratorium on departures from all airports in the country.

In an emergency notice, the agency specified that due to emergency circumstances and for security purposes, the Federal Aviation Command Center ordered a ban on takeoffs at all airports. All outbound traffic must remain on the ground until further instructions are received, while inbound international flights will be handled individually.

These restrictive measures came into force at 15:53 local time. According to preliminary estimates, their action will last until 23:00 or 23:30.

United States Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy explained that the reason for the introduction of such restrictions was a technical failure of communication systems in dispatch centers.
