WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Bernama-Sputnik/RIA Novosti) -- The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has lifted the temporary nationwide ground stop on aircraft departures from all airports in the country, previously imposed due to a major telecommunications issue, according to a notice published on the regulator's website.
"The FAA Command Center nationwide ground stop has been cancelled," the notice said, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti.
The notification was issued at 01:19 GMT on Saturday.
A temporary ban on aircraft departures from all US airports took effect at 20:53 GMT on Friday due to a major communications failure that affected air traffic control operations. The ban remained in place for 4 hours and 26 minutes.
