All flights in the US have been grounded due to “extraordinary circumstances” relating to air traffic control communication issues.

US Federal Aviation Administration issued an order to ground all flights “for reasons of safety”.

The US Transport Secretary Sean Duffy said the issue had hit air traffic control centres and “FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them”.

The US Secretary for Homeland Security has said there was no indication of any kind of threat to the United States and the emergency is not due to terrorism or a cyber attack.

The emergency is having an enormous impact across the United States, with thousands of flights in the air and many more scheduled to arrive and depart in the coming hours.

Passengers are being advised to check their flight status directly with their airline.
