Flights are departing again, but the cause of the communications disruption remains under investigation. Fox News's follow-up coverage shows a plane taking off from LaGuardia after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the end of the nationwide ground stop.
That changes the picture from the channel's earlier alert, as we reported here. In the original segment on The Will Cain Show, Jonathan Hunt relays Duffy's statement that a communication issue affected all Air Route Traffic Control Centers and that FAA technicians were investigating.
Hunt distinguishes the confirmed disruption from its still-unknown cause. He also passes along advice from airports, including Boston Logan, for travelers to check with their airlines about delays.
The Short drew roughly 330,000 views in six hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day Shorts audience.
In Fox's subsequent coverage, Duffy and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin say the investigation will continue and call on Congress to provide more funding for air traffic control systems.
The Federal Aviation Administration is the U.S. agency responsible for regulating civil aviation. Its duties include air traffic control and setting airport standards.
