The FAA stated that it is ‘experiencing an outage that is impeding the update of Notice to Air Missions (NOTAMs)’ and that ‘all flights are unable to be released at this time’ due to the enormous glitch that caused flight delays.
The FAA system that alerts pilots and other flight personnel about hazards or any changes to airport facility services and relevant procedures. Moreover, the Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC), a part of the Federal Aviation Administration air traffic control system, located in Warrenton, Virginia also issued an advisory that the United States NOTAM system failed and since then no new amendments have been processed.
“The United States NOTAM system failed at 2028Z. Since then no new NOTAMs or amendments have been processed. Technicians are currently working to restore the system and there is no estimate for ion or service at this time,” the ATCSCC advisory read.
