WASHINGTON (WDNews) — The Federal Aviation Administration halted flights nationwide Friday afternoon, Nov. 13, because of communications problems at regional air traffic control centers, The Associated Press reported.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the centers direct aircraft between airports across the country. FAA technicians are investigating the problem.
The FAA cited “extraordinary circumstances” and safety concerns in its notice. The report did not provide a confirmed time for flights to resume.
Wiregrass Daily News reached out to Dothan Regional Airport but was unable to reach anyone by phone at the time of this report.
Travelers should check with their airline for information about individual flights, the FAA advises.
This is a developing story.
