The United States temporarily suspended all flight departures at airports across the country on Saturday (November 14), according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). However, authorities have stated that there is no indication of an attack threat linked to the suspension.

Reason for Suspension and Official Response

Citing authorities, Bangladeshi media outlet Samakal reported that flights were temporarily grounded due to a technical glitch. The FAA said the decision was made to ensure passenger safety. Officials have not linked the incident to any security threat.

Exam Suspended Over Bribery Allegations

Earlier the same day, an examination was suspended just 10 minutes before it was scheduled to begin over allegations of bribery. No further details were provided by the concerned authorities. It remains unclear whether this incident is connected to the flight suspension.

Next Steps

No official announcement has been made yet regarding when flight operations will resume. The FAA is monitoring the situation and is expected to normalize flight operations after taking necessary measures. Passengers have been advised to stay in contact with their respective airlines for updates.
