An FAA system outage is disrupting flights across the US. The agency says some airlines may be able to operate even with the outage.
It's unclear how many flights will be affected, because some airlines may be able to operate without information from the system, known as the NOTAMS system.
An FAA advisory states:"Technicians are currently working to restore the system and there is no estimate for restoration of the service at this time." In a statement, FAA says,"We are performing final validation checks and repopulating the system now. Operations across the National Airspace System are affected. We will provide frequent updates as we make progress."American Airlines said in a statement it is"closely monitoring the situation, which impacts all airlines, and working with the FAA to minimize disruption to our operation and customers.
The NOTAMS system that is experiencing the outage provides"critical flight safety operation information," the airline says. FlightAware, which tracks delays and cancellations, showed nearly 1,200 flights to, from and within the United States as being delayed as of 6:45 am ET, but only 93 flights canceled so far.
