"The 56th Fighter Wing will continue their pause in local F-35A flying to coordinate analysis and communication between pilots, maintainers, medical professionals and a team of military and industry experts," Heyse said in a statement as quoted by DoD Buzz.
On Friday, the US Air Force was forced to halt flights of the 55 F-35 fighter jets after five pilots suffered oxygen deprivation.
US jets had previously been grounded in September 2016 as fight operations had to be suspended after a discovery that electrical lines in their fuel tanks had cracked.
The F-35 program is scheduled to cost more than $1 trillion, making it the most expensive aircraft and weapons program in history and the plane has been repeatedly dogged by systems breakdowns and failures.
