FAA grounds all flight within US immediately

The Fed­er­al Avi­a­tion Ad­min­is­tra­tion (FAA) has or­dered that all flights in the Unit­ed States be ground­ed un­til fur­ther no­tice, “due to ex­tra­or­di­nary cir­cum­stances and for rea­sons of safe­ty.”

The cause of the ground stop was not im­me­di­ate­ly clear, but it comes af­ter fre­quen­cy out­ages were re­port­ed in some parts of the coun­try, CNN has re­port­ed.

“Traf­fic should re­main ground stopped un­til fur­ther no­tice,” the FAA said in an ad­vi­so­ry.

“In­ter­na­tion­al flights will be man­aged on a case-by-case ba­sis.”

This is a break­ing news sto­ry and will be up­dat­ed.
