YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

US flight departures began resuming early Wednesday after an overnight outage to a key air-traffic system prompted authorities to ground planes nationwide.

The Federal Aviation Administration said normal air traffic operations were gradually returning as it lifted the ground stop shortly before 9 a.m. Eastern time. The disruption stemmed from problems with the Notice to Air Missions system, or Notam, which conveys advisory information essential for flight operations.

The dramatic system disruption is one of the most significant in recent decades for the FAA and comes after a year of tests of the nation’s air system as the return from Covid-19 stressed airlines and air-traffic operations.

Carriers including United Airlines Holdings Inc. and Southwest Airlines Co. said travelers should expect schedule changes, including delays and cancellations, even as flight operations began resuming. Flight-tracking website FlightAware showed 4,314 delays for US flights at 9:22 a.m. New York time.

The grounding potentially could affect more than 2 million passengers who are booked on 19,621 domestic flights, according to aviation data provider Cirium. That doesn’t include travelers on 1,843 international flights set to arrive in the US Wednesday.
