WorldFAA halts flights to major US East Coast airports amid outage

The FAA grounded flights at several busy East Coast airports after an equipment and telecommunications outage disrupted air traffic control. The stoppage affected JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Boston Logan, Philadelphia and Teterboro, causing more than 1,000 delays or cancellations at Newark alone. Officials said a construction crew accidentally cut a New Jersey fibre line; some ground stops were later lifted.
