Bhopal:
A technical disruption in the United States air traffic control system has affected international flight operations, prompting Air India to issue a travel advisory for passengers travelling to and from the country. The airline warned that its services could also face disruptions due to operational difficulties at US airports.
In a message posted on social media platform X, Air India said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had temporarily imposed ground stops at airports across the United States following a disruption in communication services affecting air traffic operations. The restrictions impacted aircraft departures from several US airports.
The airline advised passengers to check the latest status of their flights before leaving for the airport and plan their journeys accordingly. Air India said its teams were closely monitoring the situation and would provide updates as more information became available.
Amid the disruption, Canadian carrier Air Canada had also announced on Friday the cancellation of its remaining flights to and from the United States for the day. Although US aviation authorities subsequently lifted the ground stop, flight operations did not return to normal immediately.
The disruption caused aircraft and crew members to be displaced from their scheduled locations, raising concerns that delays and cancellations could continue even after restrictions were withdrawn.
Passengers have been advised to regularly check flight updates through airline websites and official communication channels before travelling to the airport.
