An order from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounding all departing flights has affected some arrivals and departures at the Ottawa International Airport.
“由于@FAANews 发布全国性停飞令,所有往返美国的航班均受影响,直至另行通知。请在前往机场前与航空公司确认。我们将在信息可用时更新,”机场在社交媒体帖子中提醒。

机场管理局发言人克里斯塔·基利表示,一班原定周五下午从渥太华飞往波士顿的航班已取消,且没有其他飞往美国的计划起飞航班。她补充说,已有两班起飞的航班返回渥太华。
Airport authority spokesperson Krista Kealey said one fight from Ottawa to Boston that was scheduled to depart Friday afternoon was cancelled, and there are no other scheduled departures to the U.S. Two additional flights that had already departed have returned to Ottawa, she added.
基利说,机场预计可能会有一些航班被改道降落在渥太华。周五有五班从美国出发的航班计划抵达渥太华。
Kealey said the airport is anticipating some flights could be diverted to land in Ottawa. Five flights from the U.S. were scheduled to arrive in Ottawa on Friday.
FAA 在 X 平台发帖称,曾发生临时电信中断,出于“极度谨慎”考虑,所有航班已暂停。根据 FAA 网站,蒙特利尔和多伦多已发布停飞令。卡尔加里及其他加拿大城市的机场也发布了通告。
In a post on X, the FAA said there had been a temporary telecommunications outage and that all flights had been halted "out of an abundance of caution." Ground stops have been issued for Montreal and Toronto, according to the FAA's website. Airports in Calgary and other Canadian cities have issued advisories.
到周五晚上,美国交通部长肖恩·达菲表示,FAA 已解除该命令,并将空管通信中断归咎于老旧硬件设备。
By Friday night, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the FAA has lifted the order, and blamed the air traffic control communications outage on old hardware.
