"Extraordinary circumstances" were cited as the reason.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has imposed a nationwide ban on flights at all airports, according to Axios reports, citing a statement from the agency.

“All departures must be suspended until further notice,” the publication quotes the FAA’s notice as saying.

The agency cited “extraordinary circumstances” as the reason for this decision, which was made “for safety reasons.” “The issue of incoming international flights will be decided on a case-by-case basis,” the FAA stated.

According to Clash Report, the restrictions may be related to issues with the frequencies of the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS). Several air traffic control centers simultaneously reported communication disruptions. However, the FAA has not yet officially disclosed the exact cause of the incident.

An agency spokesperson called the suspension of all departures “an absolutely unprecedented event.” It is not yet known when the restrictions will be lifted.
