BREAKING: All Flights Across US Grounded
By Boniface Ihiasota, USA
Due to the system failure at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), all flights across the United States have been grounded.
This interruption is expected to have a global impact.
The FAA identified the issue as an outage related to NOTAMs, which are essential notices and directives for flight crew, personnel involved in flight operations, air traffic control, etc.
There is no estimated time of restoration and flights will remain suspended until the issue is resolved.
To allow the FAA to validate the integrity of flight and safety information, airlines have been ordered to suspend domestic flight departures until 9am ET.
There is no word yet on similar blanket suspensions on international flights waiting to depart to US from abroad.
