According to CNN, the FAA said a communications problem affecting Air Route Traffic Control Centres, which manage flights travelling across the country, prompted the disruption.
The cause of the problem was not immediately known. However, preliminary reports from two law enforcement officials indicated that it was not a cyberattack, CNN reported.
