The White House signaled that aging infrastructure is behind the FAA's latest operational disruption, saying a modern, state-of-the-art system would have prevented the outages, while confirming airspace reopened at 8:15 p.m. Eastern. The update, delivered by Secretary Mullin and Secretary Duffy, followed a national ground stop that halted flights across the U.S. aviation system. The event puts fresh scrutiny on FAA funding and modernization plans, with travelers and airlines bearing the cost of repeated disruptions. What to watch next: whether lawmakers advance funding for air traffic control upgrades and how quickly normal flight schedules recover.
