FAA отменило общенациональный запрет на вылеты из аэропортов США

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has lifted the nationwide ban on departures of planes from all airports in the country. The restriction was in effect for about four hours.

Because of this, more than six thousand flights to and from the U.S. were canceled. An estimated at least one and a half million passengers were affected by the outage; this count includes only those whose flights were canceled, not delayed.

What exactly led to the need to impose a nationwide ban remains unknown. The statement said that for some reason routers stopped working, which led to a major telecommunications outage.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin separately stated that there are no signs of a “malicious attack” in the outage. He also emphasized that the incident is not related to the global outage at Microsoft that occurred on November 13.
