The DOT, FAA's parent agency, criticized Southwest's failures and pressured the airline to compensate passengers. Separately on Wednesday afternoon, air traffic control manager NAV Canada reported an outage of about 90 minutes in a similar messaging system used in Canada, but said the issue had not caused any flight delays. The U.S. Buttigieg told reporters a backup system went into effect on Tuesday but questions were raised about the system's performance, which led to a complete reboot of the system and prompted the FAA to issue the ground stop about 7:30 a.m. The S&P 500 airlines index "I sat in a Chick-fil-A dining area that had a good view of the TSA exit," the 30-year-old information technology employee said. Republican Senator Ted Cruz called the failure "completely unacceptable." The same file corrupted both the main system and its backup, said people familiar with the review, who asked not to be identified. aviation sector was struggling to return to normal on Wednesday after a nationwide ground stop imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) over a computer issue that forced a 90-minute halt to all U.S. Many industry officials compared the grounding to what occurred after the terror attacks on Sept. More than 10,000 flights have been delayed so far and over 1,300 canceled, according to FlightAware, in the first national grounding of flights in about two decades.

Normal air traffic operations are resuming gradually in the US after hours of delays, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says.

You can also get in touch in the following ways: The carrier said it would put in place a "goodwill policy" so affected passengers can change their travel plans. "It is what is, so, you can only get so upset," he told the BBC. "This will be a long day of travel." Please include your name, age and location with any submission. Major US airlines said they were closely monitoring the situation. The FAA had said flights would take off again from 0900 ET (1400 GMT). "I may have seen it differently if I was headed to a wedding or a funeral, though." British Airways said its flights to and from the US were continuing to operate as planned. Virgin Atlantic said it was continuing to operate its schedule of US flights departing from the UK. It said it was continuing to look into the cause of the problem. The FAA said the source of the problem was its Notice to Air Missions System.

The disruption on Wednesday was caused by an outage to a system that the Federal Aviation Administration uses to send real-time safety alerts to pilots.

They were created in 1947 and modeled after similar messages used to alert ship captains to hazards at sea. Here’s what caused the F.A.A. What is NOTAM?

The failure's cause remains unknown, though the FAA and White House have said that there's no evidence of a cyberattack.

He said the hardware and software the FAA relies on is “decades old” and while upgrading it makes sense, that process is also cumbersome as it requires testing a new system while simultaneously running the old system. “Today’s failure of the FAA has wreaked havoc across the country,” he said. “The past year has made clear that significant improvements across the aviation system are needed. The agency has taken criticism in recent years for its creaky computer systems and other air-control technology, and its guiding statute is due for a congressional revamp before it expires next fall. And it comes as the FAA lacks a Senate-confirmed administrator, following former chief Steve Dickson’s resignation in March.

[What is the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system?] [A Notice to Air Missions is a notice that provides pilots and other flight personnel with real-time, safety information concerning flight operations and airports.] "God forbid if the pilots are not updated with abnormal conditions it might lead to some serious problems like accidents or something like that."

Pete Buttigieg, who oversees the F.A.A. The project is supposed to help the agency handle increased air traffic and develop technology to prevent problems like Wednesday’s disruption. A big part of the problem, aviation experts said, is that Congress has not given the F.A.A. The F.A.A., in particular, has long faced criticism for failing to modernize its technological systems quickly enough and not hiring enough air traffic controllers and safety specialists. Taken together, the two episodes underscore the fragility of the nation’s aviation system. Problems with the system used to notify pilots of hazards in the air and ground began on Tuesday night, forcing officials to reboot the system early Wednesday morning. The disruption was the latest example of serious problems in the aviation system and at the F.A.A., the agency responsible for safely managing all commercial air traffic that critics say has long been overworked and underfunded.

Unlike Southwest’s flight disruptions, which were caused in large part by a breakdown of the carrier’s software, Wednesday’s canceled and delayed flights weren’t the fault of any airline. That attempt at a fix was “not sufficiently validated to feel comfortable” that the issues were totally resolved, Buttigieg said. “We didn’t want to spend all day in the airport.” Spokeswoman Vanessa Adams said the cause is under investigation, but they do not believe it is related to the FAA problems.

According to an FAA bulletin, the outage of the NOTAM service began at 3:28 p.m. Wednesday’s issues came amid efforts to modernize the system and address other concerns that have arisen over the years. Lawmakers pledged to probe the latest disruption as they begin work this year on a major package of legislation tied to FAA funding. The White House and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said they do not suspect a cyberattack or other external activity.

More than 400 U.S. flights were delayed on Thursday following an FAA ground stop that delayed thousands of flights.

The FAA's outage prompted questions from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, and will likely lead to hearings and debate over additional funding for the U.S. There was no evidence of a cyberattack, the FAA said.

The FAA is already taking criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. “Regardless of the improvements made to the system in recent years, it still has the heart of an 89-year-old man.” Instead, It pointed to a damaged database file. In its budget estimate for 2023, the FAA requested $29.4 million for its Aeronautical Information Management Program, which includes the NOTAM system. Late Wednesday, the FAA continued to downplay the possibility of a cyberattack as the root cause of the system failure. “It’s gone on for years.”
