US flight ground stop lifted; Korean flights resume
The US Federal Aviation Administration grounded all departing flights nationwide on Friday after a communications failure hit air traffic control centers, in only the second such shutdown since September, the Korea Times reports. The ground stop was lifted the same day, ending what the Korea Times describes as the longest nationwide shutdown, though the outage caused chaos at airports. KBS World reports that South Korean commercial flights to the US have all resumed after the lift, with Korean Air saying Saturday it was calling flights back to normal. Korean media also note the separate Microsoft services outage that disrupted domestic companies, prompting South Korea's ICT ministry to announce Saturday it will inspect domestic disruptions, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times.
