Federal authorities halted plane departures within the United States for over two hours on Wednesday due to a problem with a system used by pilots, according to US authorities.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said Wednesday at 8:50am ET (12:50 GMT) that the “ground stop” had been lifted and flights were gradually resuming across the country. Departures had been halted after the FAA said it was working to restore a system that alerts pilots to hazards and changes to airport facilities and procedures.
More than 7,500 flights have reportedly been delayed and nearly 1,000 were cancelled.
