Earlier, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced a nationwide suspension of all flights across the United States until further notice, citing extraordinary circumstances and safety concerns. An agency spokesperson said a communications problem was affecting air traffic control centers along the routes responsible for monitoring flights passing through U.S. airspace.

The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security stressed that the flight suspension was not prompted by any threat to the United States. Law enforcement sources told CNN that initial reports indicated the incident was not the result of a cyberattack. U.S. President Donald Trump was also briefed on the situation.
