Passengers continue to face delays and cancellations after US lifts nationwide ground stop

Passengers travelling to and from the United States continue to face delays and cancellations to flights on Saturday morning despite the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) having lifted a nationwide ground stop.

The rare order had been issued on Friday following a "telecommunications outage," with all flights halted across the country.

The FAA has since lifted the ground stop and said that some flight departures were resuming.
