Air traffic in the U.S. remains disrupted for the third consecutive day due to a major technical issue affecting the air traffic control system. Over 5,200 flights were canceled or delayed on November 16, with expectations for a gradual return to normalcy. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed no signs of cyberattacks or sabotage, but the exact cause of the malfunction is still unknown. The FAA's recent router installation triggered a failure in another piece of equipment, leading to excessive data transmission and overwhelming other control centers. Duffy emphasized the need for increased funding for modernization, while some lawmakers expressed skepticism about the necessity for additional funds.
