MULLIN: TWO U.S. AREAS STILL HAVE FAA COMMUNICATIONS — NATIONWIDE GROUND STOP REMAINS

@SecMullinDHS says the nationwide ground stop is still limited to the United States, and officials are not aware of other countries being affected.

“There’s two areas inside the United States that are still able to communicate just fine.”

Mullin says multiple federal agencies are working together to restore operations and stressed President Trump moved quickly to coordinate the response.
“The president took a lead in this immediately.”

Mullin says the government is treating the nationwide stoppage as a major operational crisis while working to get flights moving again safely.
