After the Federal Aviation Administration suffered a catastrophic system error on 11 January, over 1,000 flights across the United States have been grounded or affected indefinitely, according to several reports. USA all flight stops operating after systems failure.
This has sparked travel chaos for thousands of passengers who are either planning to travel or stuck at the airports. According to reports, the the US Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) system was not processing updated information.
The FAA system alerts pilots and other flight personnel about hazards or any changes to airport facility services and relevant procedures. “Operations across the National Airspace System are affected,” NBC reported the FAA statement.
The extent of the delays was not immediately known. But the FAA said it is working to restore it as soon as possible. “The FAA is working to restore its Notice to Air Missions System. We are performing final validation checks and repopulating the system now,” it said.
In an advisory, the FAA said its NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) system had “failed”. There was no immediate estimate for when it would be back, the website showed, though NOTAMs issued before the outage were still viewable.

A NOTAM is a notice containing information essential to personnel concerned with flight operations, but not known far enough in advance to be publicized by other means. Flight tracking website FlightAware showed that over 1,160 flights within, into and out of the U.S. were delayed as of around 7 a.m. ET.
