> US airlines were still struggling to recover on Saturday from a four-hour nationwide FAA ground stop, with more than 3,000 flights canceled by morning. Officials blamed an ageing air traffic control system. Transportation secretary Sean Duffy said operations were gradually returning to normal, but delays and cancellations would continue as airlines rearranged flights, aircraft and crews.
