The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Friday, November 13, 2026, halted departures from airports across the country because of a communications failure among the 22 air traffic control centers. Aircraft already in the air were allowed to continue their flights and land. An initial tally showed that around 7,000 flights had been delayed or canceled. The cause of the failure had not been determined, and there were no initial signs that it was a deliberate attack. This was the third time in roughly a quarter-century that a sweeping federal order had halted departures. The previous instances were the September 11, 2001 attacks, when U.S. airspace was completely cleared, and a 2023 outage in the NOTAM system, which delayed more than 11,000 flights and canceled over 1,300. The current crisis has again drawn attention to the fragility of aviation infrastructure, despite $12.5 billion being allocated to modernize it in 2025 and a further $30.1 billion being requested.
