Delhi: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) removed its order to halt all domestic aircraft departures across the United States on Wednesday after restoring the system that provides pilots with pre-flight safety notices, CNN reported.
The overnight outage caused widespread inconvenience, with thousands of flights throughout the country delayed.
The US regulatory body, FAA had put a ground stop order in place after its NOTAM — or Notice to Air Missions — system failed.
The FAA lifted the order shortly before 9 a.m.(local time) and the agency said normal air traffic operations have resumed across the country. It said it was still trying to determine the cause of the problem, according to CNN.
Earlier, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) informed all flight operators about the airspace system failure, as all flights across US were grounded after a technical glitch in the computer system of the FAA.
