> The FAA ordered a nationwide ground stop on Friday after a communications failure at air traffic control centres. More than 6,600 flights were cancelled and 8,600 delayed. Flights resumed gradually after the order was lifted; officials said overloaded routers caused the system problem, with no preliminary indication of a malicious attack.
