Flights across the US are delayed or cancelled on Saturday 14th November 2026, as knock-on disruption continues after a nationwide ground stop. The grounding began at around 16:00 EST (21:00 GMT) on the Friday and lasted more than four hours. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the ripple effects could last for days - it was the longest ground stop in the US since the one after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. On Saturday morning, some transatlantic flights from the UK have also been disrupted, with passengers warned of "follow-on disruption". Officials say the incident was caused by a "telecommunications outage" and place the blame on old systems.
