FAA halts East Coast flights after fiber line cut
Original: US halts flights at busy East Coast airports, says fiber line cut
US aviation authorities briefly stopped flights at several busy East Coast airports after a cut fiber optic line disrupted communications. Reuters reports the FAA halted some flights due to the communication failure, with affected hubs including major New York-area and Washington airports. Flights were delayed while crews worked to restore the connection, and travelers faced knock-on disruptions across the regional network.
Why now: Major flight disruptions at busy US hubs immediately affect thousands of travelers and raise questions about air traffic control infrastructure resilience.
