AI Summary

The FAA lifted a nationwide ground stop that halted all U.S. flights for hours beginning in the afternoon of November 13. Hundreds of flights were canceled, thousands already in the air were diverted, and millions of passengers were stranded. The suspension ended at 8:15 p.m. Eastern time. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed the country’s “incredibly old air traffic control system” and Congress’s failure to fund upgrades for the disruption. He addressed the issue in a press conference after the FAA restored operations.
