Flights resumed at several major East Coast airports following a telecommunications disruption that caused significant disruptions for thousands of flights on Monday, according to The Hill. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) halted arrivals at major airports in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia after the agency’s primary communication line in the region failed, and railroad construction workers accidentally cut the backup line. Flight delays continued on Tuesday but were far fewer compared to Monday, when an FAA flight data system failure and a damaged cable severed a backup system, as reported by CNBC Top News. Separately, in Germany, Berlin Airport briefly suspended flights over a drone sighting on the runway, leading to temporary airspace closures. Flights have since resumed but are experiencing delays, according to Deutsche Welle. The incidents in the U.S. and Germany were unrelated, with the former involving telecommunications failures and the latter involving a drone incident.
