FAA issues nationwide ground stop on all departing flights, citing 'communication issue' | Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Friday that there's "no indication as of yet that this was a nefarious attack against us." | Kate Murphy, Andrew Romano - Updated Sat, November 14, 2026 at 2:21 AM GMT+3 - 4 min read

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop for all flights in the United States until further notice, "due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety."

This means that planes currently in the air may land, but those on the ground may not take off.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told reporters Friday evening that there is currently no reason to suspect a national security threat is behind the communications outage affecting flights.
