Briefing by News4U · First published
Today US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on X that after restoring full functionality at air traffic control centers and TRACONs, the FAA reopened the airspace tonight. He said it will take time to resume normal operations, asked travelers to continue to check with their airline for the latest information, and said the top priority is the safety of passengers and their families when they fly. The Guardian reported that Sydney and Melbourne airports said flights were affected by the now-lifted ban on departures in the United States, and that the FAA has since lifted the grounding order as it continued to investigate the cause of the outage.
