US aviation chaos to continue on Sunday as thousands of flights remain cancelled

Air travel disruption across the United States is expected to continue well into Sunday, November 15, after a technical failure in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) air traffic control communications system triggered widespread flight cancellations and delays. Thousands of passengers remain stranded at airports as airlines struggle to restore normal operations following the nationwide disruption. FAA chief Bryan Bedford said on Saturday (local time) that flight schedules were unlikely to return to normal until late Sunday. The agency is continuing efforts to stabilise operations and resolve the technical problems that brought air travel across the country to a near standstill.
