More than 400 U.S. flights were delayed on Thursday following an FAA ground stop that delayed thousands of flights.
The FAA traced the problem to a damaged data file.Travelers as flights are cancelled at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, US, on Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2023.Air travel disruptions eased on Thursday, a day after a severe pilotThe Federal Aviation Administration halted U.S. flight departures early Wednesday after an outage of the Notice to Air Mission system, which provides pilots and others with safety information such as runway hazards.
The FAA said a preliminary review traced the outage to a "damaged database file." The issues started around 3:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Unable to fix the problem, the FAA rebooted the system, and ordered the ground stop, which it lifted around 9 a.m. on Wednesday. That caused a cascade of U.S. flight delays, which totaled 10,563, according to FlightAware. More than 1,300 flights were canceled. Close to 500 Thursday flights were delayed to, from and within the U.S., and 63 were scrubbed.
The outage and rare nationwide ground stop highlighted yet again how a failure of one of the numerous systems that underpin the U.S. aviation system can so dramatically derail air travel for hundreds of thousands of passengers.
