All flights from Europe to the United States have been grounded due to technical difficulties with the U.S. air traffic control system, as confirmed by Eurocontrol, the European air traffic management agency.
A spokesperson for Eurocontrol indicated that the timeline for resuming flights to the U.S. remains uncertain.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) initiated a nationwide halt on all take-offs on Friday, citing communication issues, which has displaced tens of thousands of travelers across various airports.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin described the suspension as a precautionary measure and cautioned that it may take “some time” before operations can resume.
