All flights across US grounded due to FAA computer system glitch
All flights across the US were grounded due to a glitch with the Federal Aviation Administration's computer system this morning.
All outbound flights were grounded until around 9am Eastern Time (2pm GMT) as the Federal Aviation Administration worked to restore its Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system, which alerts pilots of potential hazards along a flight route.
As of 3pm GMT 4,948 flights within, into or out of the US have been delayed, according to flight tracker FlightAware.com, while 868 have been cancelled. Most delays were concentrated along the East Coast.
"Normal air traffic operations are resuming gradually across the US following an overnight outage to the Notice to Air Missions system that provides safety info to flight crews," the FAA said.
"The ground stop has been lifted. We continue to look into the cause of the initial problem."
