MISSOULA – Airline passengers across the country – including in Montana – are facing flight delays on Wednesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered all flights in the US to be grounded early Wednesday morning following a “Notice to Air Missions system following an outage.”
All airlines were ordered “to pause all domestic departures until 9 a.m. Eastern Time to allow the agency to validate the integrity of flight and safety information,” according to the FAA.
The FAA lifted the order and reported that as of 8:50 a.m. Eastern Time and “normal air traffic operations are resuming gradually across the United States."
Update 5: Normal air traffic operations are resuming gradually across the U.S. following an overnight outage to the Notice to Air Missions system that provides safety info to flight crews. The ground stop has been lifted.
We continue to look into the cause of the initial problem
