FAA ground stop lifted

ABC News—The FAA has lifted the nationwide ground stop at airports.

The Federal Aviation Administration ordered a rare nationwide ground stop Friday for all airports that lasted more than four hours , saying it was due to extraordinary circumstances and safety.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told reporters it was due to a “telecommunications outage” and that there was no indication the incident was a “nefarious attack.”

Nearly 5,000 flights were canceled amid the issue.

This is a developing story.
