Flightradar24 reports that the FAA has ordered a ground stop at all US airports following an equipment outage. The restriction means departing flights must remain on the ground until further notice, preventing flights from taking off for US destinations. The notice frames the measure as a safety response to extraordinary circumstances and does not specify which equipment failed, how many flights are affected, or when normal operations might resume.
Aircraft already in the air are permitted to land, so the announcement does not call for flights to divert or return. Inbound international flights are to be handled individually rather than under a single blanket rule. The central point is a nationwide halt to departing traffic while the FAA deals with an operational disruption, with arrivals managed separately. The information appears in a Flightradar24 post dated November 13, 2026, which reproduces language attributed to the FAA; it provides no further technical details or timetable for lifting the ground stop.
