Flights in the United States resumed after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lifted a nationwide ground stop caused by a communications failure at an air traffic control centre.
The failure on 13 November forced nationwide flight departures to halt for more than four hours. Thousands of flights were cancelled and delayed before operations began to return to normal.
## What happened
A technical communications issue at a US air traffic control centre disrupted the system that manages flight departures across the country. The FAA ordered a nationwide ground stop, holding departures on the ground while controllers worked to restore communications.
The FAA lifted the ground stop after the issue was addressed, and flights resumed gradually. Passengers faced long delays and cancellations through the disruption, one of the widest US flight halts in recent years.
