Federal aviation officials had been warned that rushing to modernize the nation’s aging air traffic control system could cause disruptions. Those concerns are drawing new attention after Friday’s nationwide ground stop halted flights for nearly 4½ hours. In a story published in The Washington Post on Nov. 15, a September Government Accountability Office report warned that the FAA’s ambitious modernization effort risked prioritizing speed over costs and possible air traffic disruptions.
