  "account": "Washington and Newark – A multi-day flight ban in the United States has disrupted air travel over the entire weekend, with thousands of flights canceled and many more delayed. European connections to the United States were also affected. On Saturday, airlines canceled over 6,000 flights, and according to FlightAware, more than 1,500 flight cancellations were reported for Sunday. Numerous flights were delayed, and some European airports, such as London-Heathrow, experienced issues.\n\nUS Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy estimates that full capacity may be reached by Monday, with delays still ongoing according to him on Sunday, CBS reported. Aircraft and crews were not at their designated locations due to the ban, making a return to normal operations time-consuming. Initially, normalization was expected on Sunday, but the longest country-wide flight stoppage in 25 years was imposed by authorities for over four hours. New technologies integrated into the national air traffic control system overloaded outdated systems, causing intermittent communication and radar coverage failures, according to government sources.",
