Overview
- The Federal Aviation Administration ordered a nationwide halt to all departures on November 13, 2026 after technicians detected a widespread telecommunications failure across multiple air-traffic control centers.
- U.S. airspace was reopened that evening at 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time, but Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned the restart would be slow as airlines and airports work through a large operational backlog.
- Flight tracking services and airlines reported roughly 5,000–6,000 cancellations and many thousands more delays, leaving hundreds of thousands to over a million passengers disrupted and forcing airlines to reposition aircraft and crews.
- Homeland Security officials and the FBI say there is no current evidence of a cyberattack while investigations continue, and agencies are probing aging radio, radar and switching equipment that officials say failed intermittently.
- The outage intensified pressure on Congress to fund modernization of the air-traffic control system with the White House requesting $30.1 billion and Transportation leaders urging even larger investments to prevent repeat failures.
