WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday night that airplane departures can resume after the agency lifted a nationwide ground stop that Trump administration officials blamed on “overloaded”, “outdated” systems. Even with the order being lifted, the airlines will not be able to return to normal operations immediately because so many of their planes and crews are out of position.
