The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a nationwide groundstop for all flights at US airports over a “communication issue” that is impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers.

An advisory from the FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center reading “Due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety” stated, “attention all aircraft operators, by order of the Federal Aviation Command Center all airports are ground stopped. All departing traffic should remain ground stopped until further notice. Inbound international flights will be managed on a case by case basis.”
