The FAA orders airlines to halt all US departures until 9 a.m. ET after a system that provides pilots with pre-flight safety notices went offline
There is no evidence yet that Wednesday's air travel technology meltdown resulted from a cyber attack, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said, but he also wouldn't rule it out.
A 90-minute nationwide ground stop of flights across the United States Wednesday morning was implemented out of an"abundance of caution." Buttigieg said that there were"irregularities" overnight in the safety messages that were going out to pilots that reflected a larger issue. "No, these kinds of disruptions should not happen and my primary interest now that we've gotten through the immediate disruptions of the morning is understanding exactly how this was possible and exactly what steps are needed to make sure it doesn't happen again," Buttigieg said.
There is"no evidence of foul play based on our discussions with DOT/FAA," a senior US official familiar with matter told CNN.
