The Guam International Airport Authority said the nationwide grounding of domestic air traffic has not affected Guam, for now.
An announcement from the airport Saturday morning said officials are “closely monitoring the situation. No Guam flights are affected as of yet, and operations remain normal.”
Travelers were advised to keep in touch with their air carriers through official mobile apps to get the latest flight information.
The airport said the situation is still developing, and “GIAA will continue to closely monitor it and share information as circumstances change.”
Early Saturday, Guam time, NPR reported that the Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a "communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers," according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
The FAA said the ground stop was linked to a "temporary telecommunications outage."
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told reporters at the White House there was no indication that the problem stemmed from a threat to the United States, NPR reported.
