Nov 15 10:51Added the substance of the briefing by the Transportation Secretary and the FAA Administrator, and ended updates. According to the Transportation Secretary, the halt came after contractor L3Harris had been switching communications lines at a remote FAA facility from old copper wire to fiber optic. Whether the cause was a work error or an equipment failure is still unknown. FAA Administrator Bedford said there was "zero evidence of anything malicious, and zero evidence of anything involving AI." Up to 17 of the 22 en route air traffic control centers were affected, but no facility went down. Departures were halted because the flow of information had become unstable

The nationwide U.S. ground stop followed work to switch air traffic control communications lines. Over 12,000 flights canceled in two days; no evidence of an attack
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) halted departures at all U.S. airports at 5:54 a.m. JST on November 14 and lifted the halt at 10:15 a.m. It was the longest nationwide halt since 9/11, and cancellations topped 12,000 by Saturday morning in the U.S. (FlightAware). It is expected to take several days for the disruption to clear. 2 passenger flights between Japan and the U.S. were canceled. Information as of 8:37 p.m.
Departures at all U.S. airports were halted and then resumed about 4 hours 20 minutes later. Even so, cancellations reached 12,506 from Friday through Saturday morning (FlightAware), and on Saturday, November 14 (U.S. time), 3,374 flights had been canceled by 6:00 a.m. (8:00 p.m. JST) (FlightAware). It is expected to take several days for operations to return to normal; it is not simply a matter of delays working themselves out. Flights from Japan to the U.S. reached their scheduled airports. The cause was a communications failure in air traffic control, and the U.S. government says there is no sign of an attack.
Your questions, answered in five lines
01Is this a major event?
Yes. Halting departures nationwide is very rare, following the September 11, 2001 attacks and the 2023 system outage. The halt of about 4 hours 20 minutes was the longest since 9/11, with 12,506 flights canceled by Saturday morning (FlightAware) and an estimated 1.5 million people stranded
02Is it a cyberattack?
It appears not. At the press briefing, the FAA Administrator said there was "zero evidence of anything malicious, and zero evidence of anything involving AI." According to the Transportation Secretary, it happened after a contractor switched communications lines from copper wire to fiber optic. Officials also deny any link to the Microsoft 365 outage the day before
03How are people in Japan affected?
Of 170 Japan-U.S. passenger flights, 2 were canceled (UA32, UA33), 18 were delayed 2+ hours, and none were diverted (as of 10:50 a.m. on November 15). Delays on flights from the evening of November 14 onward have eased
04When will things return to normal?
The halt was lifted at 10:15 a.m. on November 14. Japan-U.S. flights have settled, but cancellations continued within the U.S. From Friday through Saturday morning, 12,506 flights were canceled (FlightAware)
05What should I do?
If family or colleagues are in the U.S., check their flights by flight number on the airline's website or app. For connections within the U.S. and return flights, check for delays and rebooking (details)
In the early morning of November 14, 2026 (Japan time), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) halted departures at all U.S. airports. The reason was a communications failure affecting its en route air traffic control centers.
[10:51 a.m. on November 15, update and final] Press briefing: "Zero evidence of anything malicious, or of anything involving AI." According to the Transportation Secretary, the halt came after contractor L3Harris had been switching communications lines at a remote FAA facility from old copper wire to fiber optic. Whether the cause was a work error or an equipment failure is still unknown (CNN, CNBC). FAA Administrator Bedford said there was "zero evidence of anything malicious, and zero evidence of anything involving AI." Up to 17 of the 22 en route air traffic control centers were affected, but no facility went down. Departures were halted because the flow of information had become unstable. Of the passenger flights between Japan and the U.S. (170 flights scheduled to depart from 6:00 p.m. on November 13 to 12:00 a.m. on November 15), 2 were canceled (UA32 and UA33), 18 were delayed 2+ hours, and none were diverted. 164 have arrived and 4 are in flight (10:50 a.m. on November 15, FlightAware). Updates to this article end here.
[11:08 p.m. update] The Transportation Secretary and FAA Administrator will hold a press briefing at 12:30 a.m. JST. The Transportation Secretary and FAA Administrator Bedford will hold a press briefing on the nationwide ground stop at the U.S. Department of Transportation, starting at 10:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, November 14 (12:30 a.m. JST on November 15) (ABC News). The focus is whether a detailed explanation of the cause will be given. Passenger flights between Japan and the U.S. remain at 2 canceled and 18 delayed 2+ hours.
[10:07 p.m. update] Delays on Japan-U.S. flights from the evening onward have eased. Of the 62 Japan-U.S. passenger flights scheduled to depart after 3:00 p.m. on November 14, 2 are delayed 2+ hours (DL294, UA882) and 1 is canceled (UA33). Delays on flights from the evening onward have eased (10:06 p.m., FlightAware). Overall, the totals remain at 2 canceled and 18 delayed 2+ hours.
[9:11 p.m. update] Transportation Secretary: "This will happen again." At a White House press briefing, the Transportation Secretary said "this will happen again" unless the air traffic control system is modernized (ABC News). Passenger flights between Japan and the U.S. remain at 2 canceled and 18 delayed 2+ hours.
[8:37 p.m. update] Cancellations topped 12,500 over two days. According to FlightAware, 12,506 flights were canceled from Friday through Saturday morning. On Saturday, November 14 (U.S. time) alone, 3,374 flights had been canceled by 6:00 a.m. (8:00 p.m. JST) (ABC News). Passenger flights between Japan and the U.S. remain at 2 canceled and 18 delayed 2+ hours.
[7:07 p.m. update] More than 2,000 flights were canceled on Saturday as well. According to the Associated Press, more than 2,000 flights were canceled on Saturday, November 14 (U.S. time) as well. A U.S. government official explained that new technology added to the air traffic control system strained older equipment, and communications and radar dropped out intermittently. Passenger flights between Japan and the U.S. remain at 2 canceled (UA32, UA33). Flights delayed 2+ hours rose to 18, with the addition of DL294 from Haneda to Atlanta (about 2 hours late) (7:10 p.m., FlightAware).
[11:35 a.m. update] The halt has been lifted, but the disruption will continue through the weekend. At 10:15 a.m. JST, the FAA lifted the nationwide ground stop. At about 4 hours 20 minutes, it was the longest since 9/11, according to Reuters. About 5,000 flights were canceled and about 10,000 delayed, and according to research firm Cirium, an estimated 1.5 million people were stranded. About 800 flights for Saturday, November 14 (U.S. time) are already canceled. The Transportation Secretary said "the recovery will be slow," depending on how crews can be rearranged. As for the cause, he said old technology was strained. It is not simply a matter of delays working themselves out; it is expected to take several days for operations to return to normal.
This is a major event. Halting departures at all U.S. airports is very rare, following the September 11, 2001 attacks and the January 2023 system outage. When the halt began, about 3,100 aircraft were flying toward the U.S. As of 6:40 p.m. ET on November 13, delays exceeded 10,000 flights and cancellations exceeded 3,000. About 600 flights were diverted, and Europe also halted departures of flights bound for the U.S. from 42 countries.
Whether it was a cyberattack is not yet known. The U.S. government explains it as "a communications failure" and says "there is no sign so far that it was a malicious act." The U.S. government and Microsoft both deny any link to the global Microsoft 365 outage the day before. The detailed cause has not yet been officially confirmed.
For people in Japan, the impact is on return trips and connections. Only departures were halted; flights already in the air were able to land at their destinations. All 35 U.S.-bound flights that left Japan from November 13 to the early hours of November 14, which our editors checked, reached their scheduled airports (one was just before landing). The trouble is with connections within the U.S. and flights from the U.S. back to Japan. Flights from U.S. airports to Japan were also unable to depart, and some, such as the Los Angeles-to-Narita flight, have not yet taken off. The number of Japanese people stranded is not yet known.
Recovery will take several days. From 8:00 a.m., the FAA gradually allowed departures, starting with the Pacific and other routes, and lifted the nationwide halt at 10:15 a.m. However, because crew and aircraft positioning was thrown off, cancellations and delays will continue for some time.
Data is CITY takes seriously that social infrastructure stopped two days in a row. On November 13, Microsoft 365, which supports company email and meetings, was down for about a day. On November 14, air traffic control communications in the U.S. stopped. The two are said to be unrelated. Even so, both have the same shape: "when one network goes down, everything on top of it stops" (more below).
This breaking-news report sorts out, from FAA advisories and news reports, what to do now, what happened to flights between Japan and the U.S., and what happened.
01What people in the U.S., and their families, should do
- Check flight status by flight number: Enter the flight number on the airline's website or in the Flightradar24 or FlightAware app to see the current position and arrival time. Even after landing, you may be unreachable while going through immigration.
- Airline notices, in one list: Our editors check the official notices of ANA, JAL, Delta, United, American, Alaska and ZIPAIR every 30 minutes and list them on the live page.
- Check your connections within the U.S.: Delays on U.S. domestic flights exceeded 10,000 and cancellations exceeded 3,000 (FlightAware, 6:40 p.m. ET on November 13). Check rebooking in the airline's app. Delta waived change fees for Friday and Saturday flights, and United waived fees for rebooking onto flights from November 12 through 20.
- Expect delays on flights from the U.S. to Japan: While the halt lasted, flights to Japan could not depart from U.S. airports either. Check your flight status before heading to the airport.
- Beware of links posing as rebooking: Taking advantage of the confusion, emails and text messages may circulate that say "rebooking procedure here." Before opening a link, check in the airline's official app or website.
02U.S.-bound flights from Japan all reached their airports. Flights from the U.S. to Japan are delayed
What the FAA's order stopped was flights leaving U.S. airports. Flights in the air were able to land at their destinations, and international flights arriving in the U.S. were handled flight by flight. U.S.-bound flights that left Japanese airports from November 13 to the early hours of November 14 had all taken off before the nationwide halt (5:54 a.m. JST), so they were able to proceed to their scheduled airports.
Our editors checked the main flights between Japan and the U.S. on each flight's FlightAware page (as of 5:04 p.m. on November 14).
| Route | Flight | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Japan → U.S. (35 flights that left from the morning of Nov 13 to 1:00 a.m. Nov 14) | From Haneda and Narita to Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, Boston, San Diego, Houston, Honolulu and others | All reached their scheduled airports. No flight was diverted |
| Haneda → Los Angeles | JL16 (scheduled for 5:05 p.m.; took off at 12:27 a.m. on Nov 14) | Arrived at 9:29 a.m. |
| Haneda → Los Angeles | NH106 (took off at 1:00 a.m. on Nov 14) | Arrived at 10:02 a.m. |
| San Francisco → Haneda | JL1 | Took off about 2 hours 20 minutes late (8:07 a.m. on Nov 14) |
| Los Angeles → Narita | UA32 | Canceled (changed from a delay of about 7 hours to a cancellation) |
| Japan → U.S. (flights leaving at midday on Nov 14) | From Haneda to Chicago, Houston, Dallas, New York, Los Angeles and others (NH112, NH114, JL12, JL6, NH110, AA170, JL10) | No cancellations shown as of 5:04 p.m. However, JL6 (to New York) took off at 2:45 p.m., about 3 hours 40 minutes late, and JL12 (to Dallas) at 2:48 p.m., about 3 hours 50 minutes late. NH112 (to Chicago) took off at 3:26 p.m., about 5 hours late, and JL10 (to Chicago) at 4:09 p.m., about 3 hours late. NH110 (to New York) and NH114 (to Houston) are expected to be about 6.5 hours late |
| Other U.S. → Japan flights | From New York, Chicago, Houston, Detroit, Seattle, Atlanta and others | Flights that took off before the halt are heading to Japan |
The delay on JL16 began before the nationwide halt and appears to have a separate cause (the airline's explanation has not been confirmed). The table above covers the main flights only; all flights between Japan and the U.S. are lined up just below using FlightAware data (refreshed every 30 minutes). Airlines may also cancel flights from midday today onward.

Nov 15 0:30
Press briefing: "Zero evidence of anything malicious, or of anything involving AI" Update from the November 15 briefing
According to the Transportation Secretary, the halt came after contractor L3Harris had been switching communications lines at a remote FAA facility from old copper wire to fiber optic. Whether the cause was a work error or an equipment failure is still unknown. FAA Administrator Bedford said there was "zero evidence of anything malicious, and zero evidence of anything involving AI." Up to 17 of the 22 en route air traffic control centers were affected, but no facility went down. Departures were halted because the flow of information had become unstable (CNN, CNBC)
The first halt was for flights to a Chicago airport. At 5:10 a.m. JST, the FAA halted departures to Chicago O'Hare, citing "equipment outage" and "communications problem." 44 minutes later, at 5:54 a.m., it issued an advisory halting departures at all U.S. airports. The advisory said "due to extraordinary circumstances, for safety," and indicated that flights in the air could land at their destinations and that international flights arriving in the U.S. would be handled flight by flight.
U.S. airspace is watched not only by airport control towers but also by Air Route Traffic Control Centers, which handle flights along their routes. The Transportation Secretary explained that a communications problem affecting all of these control centers had occurred. If controllers and pilots, and the control centers themselves, cannot stay in contact, safe separation cannot be maintained. That is why departures of new flights were halted.
The scale is large. According to aviation data service Flightradar24, about 3,100 aircraft were flying toward the U.S. when the halt began. According to research firm Cirium, about 11,000 flights were scheduled to leave the U.S. after 4:00 p.m. ET, and about 600 flights were diverted. At the FAA's request, Eurocontrol, Europe's air traffic management agency, halted departures of flights to the U.S. from 42 countries.
At 8:00 a.m., the FAA laid out a plan to allow departures "in stages, as conditions permit." Departures have been allowed on Pacific routes such as Hawaii and Asia from San Francisco, and on some Atlantic routes from Boston.
04Whether it was an attack is unknown. The U.S. government says "a communications failure"
The FAA explained on X that it was a "temporary communications outage" and said it was "tracking all flights." The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security said "there is no sign so far that it was a malicious act" and "it was a communications failure." The FAA also says it does not see it as a cyberattack.
The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security denied any link to the global Microsoft 365 outage the day before (breaking news), saying "there is no reason at all to connect them," and Microsoft also says it does not see a connection with the FAA halt.
The detailed cause has not yet been officially confirmed. U.S. broadcaster CBS reported, citing multiple sources, that a restart occurred during work to update air traffic control's dedicated communications network and the network went down. U.S. broadcaster CNN reported, citing airline sources, that a network router malfunction spread nationwide. Neither has been confirmed by the FAA.
05Nationwide ground stops have happened a few times before
Halting departures at airports nationwide is rare. On January 11, 2023, the NOTAM system, which alerts pilots to airport and airspace notices, went down, and the FAA halted domestic departures in the morning. Delays exceeded 10,000 flights, and the cause was a database file mistakenly deleted during work by a contractor. The FAA said there was no evidence of a cyberattack. On September 11, 2001, the FAA halted takeoffs and then closed airspace across the U.S.
06Social infrastructure stopped two days in a row
Data is CITY takes these two days seriously.
In the early hours of the 13th, Microsoft 365, which supports company email, meetings and files, went down and took about a day to recover (breaking news). The cause was a problem during earlier work to increase network capacity. In the early morning of the 14th, air traffic control communications in the U.S. stopped, and departures halted at airports nationwide. The U.S. government and Microsoft both say the two are unrelated.
Even so, the two have the same shape. A company's work and the safety of the skies both ride on one invisible network. When the network stops, everything on top of it stops. And neither stoppage was an attack; both are attributed to communications or configuration failures. This is a kind of outage that cannot be prevented by hardening defenses alone.
So we would recommend two things. One is to map, in ordinary times, "which networks does our work depend on." The other is to be ready, on the day something stops, to tell each person right away "who should do what." Who is on a business trip in the U.S., which flight are they on, and what happens to their return trip? The news from around the world does not say.

07The ground stop is lifted. Disruption from cancellations and delays is expected to last days
What we want to confirm next is the following.
- When the disruption from cancellations and delays will clear (the number of cancellations over the weekend)
- What the direct cause of the communications failure was, and whether it was related to the work on updating the communications network
- Whether cancellations or delays will occur on Japan-U.S. flights from midday today onward
- How many flights were diverted, and how many people were stranded at airports, during the halt
[11:15 a.m. update] The FAA lifted the nationwide halt at 10:15 a.m. JST. The Transportation Secretary explained that switches and routers came under strain and stopped. We will update this article if there is a new announcement.
