U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that air travel had returned to normal after departures from airports were halted on Friday because of a communications outage, although some delays and cancellations continued during the recovery. Officials attributed the disruption to an equipment problem during an upgrade of cables in an aging communications network built on technology dating back to the 1980s. They said there was no evidence of suspicious activity or any connection to artificial intelligence. Of the 50,000 flights scheduled for Friday, about 30,000 operated before the halt. More than 4,100 flights were canceled and about 3,200 delayed on Saturday. The Federal Aviation Administration expected schedules to be fully restored by the end of Sunday.
