The Federal Aviation Administration ordered a nationwide ground stop Friday for all airlines "due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety."

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that the ground stop followed a "communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers."

The government didn't provide any details about the issue.

“We are grateful that the Senate understands the urgent need to overhaul our nation’s air traffic control (ATC) system and included $12.5 billion in their reconciliation package for that cause. This is an important first step as Secretary Duffy works to implement President Trump’s vision of a brand new, state-of-the-art system.”

Davey, it's really not a laughing matter. You'd be shocked to know just how old some of the underlying systems that manage air traffic are. When I say decades, you can figure easily 50-60 years old. And no, I am not pulling that out of my backside.

The ATC system has been one of those footballs that just keeps getting kicked down the road. The US has been years overdue in an overhaul.

I hope no hacking or sabotage! Flying sucks as it is and poor people in airplanes right now in this sorry situation!

No, it's not a laughing matter.

The Trump administration received over $12 billion to upgrade the ATC system.

Any chance this ground order is due to this new system?

If so, which Trump crony got the contract?

What the F is happening? The statement is ambiguous - extraordinary circumstances? I wonder what they're NOT telling us?

Peraton is the prime integrator of the new system. It should be fully deployed by end of 2028.

I was about to joke the FAA ran out of floppy disks.



Nationwide ground stops are rare. The last full national stop of this type occurred in January 2023 after a failure of the FAA’s Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system. That outage lasted roughly 90 minutes and caused thousands of delays and cancellations.
