A Federal Aviation Administration national ground stop led to more than 3,000 canceled flights and another 1,000 delays, Fox News reported.
The Fox News report attributed the ground stop to overloaded equipment that is out of date. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has blamed the aging technology and is seeking funding for it, Fox News correspondent Angelo Bavaro said.
“Let’s not do a patchwork, a fix to a system that’s critical for every single family,” Duffy said.
The ground stop lasted about four hours, according to the Fox News report.
Federal officials “are emphasizing passengers were never in any danger,” Fox News correspondent Jonathan Cary said. The cause of the ground stop is under investigation, he said.
