Flight operations across the United States are gradually returning to normal, with aircraft resuming pushbacks, taxiing and departures, according to an update from the US aviation authorities.
Officials have said it is safe to fly as the aviation system continues its recovery.
Authorities are working closely with airlines to support the restoration of regular services. However, passengers may still experience delays and cancellations as carriers adjust schedules and reposition aircraft and crew members to airports where they are needed most.
The immediate priority is to ensure that travellers reach their destinations safely and reunite with their families as quickly as possible.
Air traffic controllers, pilots and flight crews are continuing to work around the clock to manage the recovery and maintain safe operations.
Press Briefing Scheduled
The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) is scheduled to hold a press briefing at 10:30 am ET at its headquarters to provide further updates on the situation and the progress of the recovery.
Passengers have been advised to check their flight status directly with their respective airlines before heading to the airport, as schedules may continue to change.
How to check Flight Updates
Travellers can monitor real-time airport and air traffic updates through the Federal Aviation Administration’s official website: nasstatus.faa.gov.
Although operations are gradually stabilising, airlines may need additional time to restore normal schedules fully. Passengers are therefore advised to remain updated through official airline channels and allow for possible changes to their travel plans.
