The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration lifted its nationwide flight ban on Friday evening, hours after disruptions that affected thousands of flights across the country. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed the country’s aging air traffic control system for the flight suspensions, while a CNBC report stated that more than 10,000 flights were affected and predicted that additional cancellations would continue. The Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed that the communications failure in air traffic control was unlikely to have been caused by a cyberattack or criminal activity.
