0:44Now PlayingTransportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg addressed the FAA system outage that caused flights to be delayed and canceled across the U.S.
RELATEDBiden orders FAA outage investigation that grounded domestic flights
Almost 10,000 flights in the U.S. were delayed or canceled as a technical issue forced the Federal Aviation Administration to pause departures nationwide for about 90 minutes Wednesday morning.
According to the agency, an outage affecting the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system, which alerts pilots to safety issues at and around the nation's airports, was behind the disruption.
The FAA has not yet identified a specific cause of the issue, but experts told USA TODAY that the U.S. air traffic control system often relies on outdated technology to keep things moving, and it's likely that a computer glitch of some kind was responsible.
