Description
A nationwide aviation disruption in the United States has raised serious questions about the ageing technology powering the country's air traffic control system. A router malfunction during an upgrade to replace outdated copper wiring with fibre-optic connections reportedly flooded other systems with data, disrupting communications across 22 regional air traffic control centres and forcing the FAA to halt departures nationwide. While aircraft already in the air were allowed to land, passengers faced widespread delays and disruption. President Donald Trump blamed previous administrations, particularly Democrats, for failing to modernise America's aviation infrastructure. Trump pointed to equipment dating back decades, with some systems reportedly around 55 years old. The incident has reignited concerns over the reliability of America's air traffic network, the pace of modernisation and who should be held responsible for the failure.
