A nationwide grounding of flights in the United States, prompted by a communication failure at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), was lifted after four hours. As a result, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines canceled their earlier flight cancellations for some U.S. routes.
According to the FAA, the grounding order was rescinded on November 13 (local time) after approximately four hours. The FAA also temporarily halted international flights arriving at U.S. airports but later canceled that order.
Korean Air's flight from Incheon to Atlanta (Flight KE033), which had been canceled earlier in the day, is now preparing for departure.
Korean Air had also planned to cancel flights to Boston and New York, but those flights are expected to operate normally due to the change in circumstances.
The airline confirmed that there are no canceled flights due to the U.S. operational restrictions.
Asiana Airlines also decided to resume its flight from Incheon to New York (Flight OZ222), which had been canceled. The flight, originally scheduled to depart at 8:40 a.m., is now set to leave at 1 p.m.
With the U.S. airport system back to normal and the operational restrictions lifted, Incheon International Airport is expected to return to regular operations.
Incheon Airport Corporation reported that a total of 32 flights to the U.S. are scheduled to depart from Incheon Airport today. However, some flights may experience delays due to the impact of the operational restrictions.
