FAA Issues Nationwide Ground Stop

FAA Nationwide Ground Stop Update3:00pm PST Friday, Nov. 13th, 2026: SFO confirms Pacific-bound flights are now cleared to depart from SFO, including destinations in Hawaii and Asia. Please check directly with your airline for the latest information on your flight and schedule!

 
Several pieces of false information are circulating on social media:

No, the National Weather Service (NWS) is operating normally this Friday, November 13, 2026, despite rumors of a widespread outage circulating online. The agency did, however, experience some brief technical difficulties earlier in the day related to its internet-based communications.

What actually happened:

• Temporary communication issues. Earlier on November 13, the NWS reported internet network and communication problems that caused temporary delays in updating certain products and forecasts on its websites.
• Radar outage rumors debunked. Some internet users shared an old, undated webpage from the Anchorage, Alaska, office that mentioned a nationwide outage. The NWS officially refuted this rumor this evening, confirming that all of its Doppler radars and the radar.weather.gov portal are fully operational.
 
The FAA's nationwide ground stop is now raising questions about what went wrong across America's air traffic control system.Air Space Intelligence, the company behind the FAA's newly expanded SMART system, denies any involvement in the outage.Microsoft also says it has no indication its services are connected.

 
He is lying. Air traffic control towers have an average age of between 40 and 50 years, not 100. Where did the 15 billion allocated over the last 15 years go?
Actually, it’s a political statement; according to him, it’s Congress’s fault—perhaps he should admit that the FAA messed up with their updates.
