A live-updates report on the FAA's nationwide halt of departing flights on 13 November 2026 over a communications outage affecting air route traffic control centers, with officials saying there are no initial signs of a cyberattack and no timeline for restarting flights. A few Pacific-bound flights were cleared from San Francisco, SpaceX launched a Starship rocket during the stop, sports teams and passengers were left stranded, and the outage came soon after the FAA rolled out its AI-assisted SMART air traffic system, which officials and its vendor say was not the cause.
