The United States Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system failed, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
NOTAMs notified pilots of changes in the status of a flight and are required before a plane can take off.
In a Tweet, “The FAA is working to restore its Notice to Air Missions System. We are performing final validation checks and reloading the system now. Operations across the National Airspace System are affected. We will provide frequent updates as we make progress.”
