The FAA is the US government agency that oversees many aspects of America’s aviation, including air traffic management.
On Wednesday morning the FAA announced that ALL COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS were down across the US.
The issue affected the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system, which provides pilots with real-time information about closed runways, equipment outages, and other potential hazards.
More than 7,000 flights were delayed after the outage.
The system was reportedly down for 90 minutes.

All flights currently in the sky are safe to land. Pilots check the NOTAM system before they fly. A Notice to Air Missions alerts pilots about closed runways, equipment outages, and other potential hazards along a flight route or at a location that could affect the flight.

We continue to look into the cause of the initial problem

Flights are still down and delayed in several parts of the country.
The White House told reporters there was “no evidence” the outage was caused by a cyber attack.
But they can’t say what caused THE ENTIRE SYSTEM to go down!
