The US Federal Aviation Administration has grounded departing flights at every airport in the country after a communication problem hit its air traffic control centres. Transport Secretary Sean Duffy said technicians were investigating the fault, which first caused stoppages at Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports. Inbound international flights, including from the UK, are being handled case by case, and passengers now face major disruption tonight.
