Flights halted at airports across US due to air traffic control communications problems, FAA says
An AP News article reports that the Federal Aviation Administration grounded all US flights on 13 November 2026 because of communications problems at the 22 regional air traffic control centers, the first nationwide ground stop since January 2023. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said technicians are investigating, and the White House is seeking another $30 billion to finish an air traffic control technology overhaul already underway with $12.5 billion from Congress.
