Operations at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) were temporarily suspended on Sunday after an equipment outage, confirmed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The disruption led to a ground stop, pausing all departing and arriving flights.
LAX, one of the world’s busiest airports, experienced delays as technicians worked to restore systems and resume normal operations.

Ealier this month, several major European airports, including London Heathrow, were thrown into disarray after a cyberattack crippled key check-in systems, leaving passengers stranded and operations severely disrupted. The breach targeted Collins Aerospace, a division of RTX, which provides MUSE software used by multiple airlines for check-in and boarding.
The outage caused long queues, cancellations, and delays across airports in London, Berlin, and Brussels. While most systems were restored within hours, some flights continued to experience knock-on delays the following day. Collins Aerospace later confirmed a “cyber-related disruption” but shared no further technical details, as European aviation regulators began investigating the incident’s source and impact.
The episode adds to a worrying pattern of aviation system vulnerabilities, coming just weeks before a separate equipment failure temporarily halted flight operations at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
