US Lifts ground stop, but passengers face second day of flight disruption
Al Jazeera carries an Associated Press report on the lifting of a nationwide US ground stop imposed on 13 November 2026 after a telecommunications outage hit the country's air traffic control centres, stranding more than 1.5 million passengers and leaving NBA, NHL and college teams scrambling to reach their games. Airlines warned recovery would take days, with FlightRadar24 counting over 4,700 cancellations, while Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he expected normal operations by the Thanksgiving rush.
