US flight disruptions may continue until Monday – Trump administration

The US flight disruptions caused by a no-takeoff order may continue for another day, according to the Trump administration. The administration blames faulty work on upgrading air traffic control communication cables for the chaos. President Trump ended days of silence on the issue, but only to blame his predecessor Joe Biden. The FAA chief stated that while air travel for millions of Americans would return to normal by the close of business on Sunday, it will take longer to reach fully normal conditions the following day.

The administration has appealed for $50 billion in funds to modernize the air traffic control system, but Democrats have criticized the Republicans' handling of the issue.
