SEOUL, November 14 (AJP) - U.S.-bound flights from Incheon International Airport began returning to normal Saturday after earlier cancellations were withdrawn following the lifting of a nationwide ground stop by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The FAA lifted the restrictions at around 10:15 a.m. Korean time, about four hours and 20 minutes after they began. The shutdown, reportedly triggered by an air traffic control communications failure, disrupted flights across major U.S. airports before operations gradually resumed.
