Flights are able to land but not take off, while Homeland Security says there are no nefarious acts.
The government cited a nationwide communications failure among air traffic control systems as the reason for the sudden grounding on Friday.
All flights in the United States are grounded until further notice “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
The FAA has issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a "communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers," according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
The ground stop will impact thousands of flights and hundreds of thousands of passengers: US airspace handles around 45,000 flights a day.
