Congressional response to the rulingpublished at 04:45 GMT
Like so many Americans facing ground stops and traffic delays, members of Congress also expressed frustration.
Some pointed this frustration at the Trump administration after Mullin and Duffy’s press conference.
Nevada Senate Democrat Jacky Rosen called the ground stop “unacceptable” and said there needs to be an investigation into what happened today to “make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
House Democrat Maxwell Frost is also calling for an investigation into today’s ground check.
Republican Rep. Nick Langworthy of New York, who chairs the Aviation Safety Caucus, says the disruptions show why Congress can’t delay modernizing the FAA’s infrastructure.
“Modernizing our air traffic control system comes at a significant cost, but the cost of continued failure is far too high,” he wrote on social media.
It also calls for more transparency from the FAA about “what happened, why it happened, and what other vulnerabilities could cause future disruptions.”
