**Update, 14th November 2026:** American Airlines flight AA9600 to New York, scheduled for 07:45, was cancelled, and flight AA67, originally due at midday, faced a delay of more than three hours, according to [Metrópoli Abierta](https://metropoliabierta.elespanol.com/movilidad/20261114/apagon-aereo-unidos-deja-vuelo-cancelado-nueva-york-fuertes-retrasos-aeropuerto-barcelona/1003742812059%5F0.html?ref=barna.news). The AA67 service is also operated under flight codes for Iberia and British Airways.

Nine flights from Barcelona Airport to the United States are scheduled for Saturday 14th November 2026 after European departures to the US were suspended at the request of the American aviation authority. Barcelona passengers should check with their airline or the airport before travelling, as individual flight statuses could change.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lifted its separate nationwide halt on departures at 20:15 Eastern Time on Friday 13th November, equivalent to 02:15 in Barcelona on Saturday. The halt followed a telecommunications failure affecting air traffic control, but the resumption of US departures does not establish the status of each flight from Barcelona.

Eurocontrol, the European air traffic management body, suspended US-bound departures from its member states at the FAA's request. A Eurocontrol spokeswoman told DPA that it was unclear when those flights could resume, saying the decision did not depend on the European body.

## US departures resume after communications failure

The FAA ordered US airports to halt departures on 13th November while technicians investigated the communications problem. The BBC reported that the nationwide stoppage lasted more than four hours; ABC News put its duration at more than five hours.

US Transport Secretary Sean Duffy said an older air traffic control communications system had become overloaded, affecting communications and radar. He said:

> “Our switches, our routers actually got overloaded with data and they went down.”

More than 3,500 aircraft were already in the air when the FAA announced the US ground stop, according to the BBC. Some were diverted to other airports, while others continued to their destinations.

Flight-tracking service FlightAware recorded more than 8,500 delayed flights and nearly 8,000 cancellations on Friday, the BBC reported. US Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said there was no evidence of a cyber-attack.
