The US orders to suspend all flights in the country due to "extraordinary circumstances and security reasons"

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States has ordered to stop outbound air traffic at all airports in the country "due to extraordinary circumstances and for security reasons", so all flights remain suspended and grounded.

Although for now the exact cause of this suspension of flights is unknown, the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, has indicated that there is a communication problem that affects the Air Traffic Control Centers, in charge of managing flights that cross the country.

"Air traffic must remain grounded until further notice," the FAA said in a statement, adding that "international flights will be managed on a case-by-case basis."
