UPDATE: US flights are slowly beginning to resume departures and a ground stop is lifted after the Federal Aviation Administration scrambled to fix a system outage.
WASHINGTON, USA – US flights were slowly beginning to resume departures and a ground stop was lifted after the Federal Aviation Administration scrambled to fix a system outage overnight that forced a halt to all US departing flights.
The FAA said shortly before 8:30 am departures were resuming at Newark and Atlanta airports “due to air traffic congestion in those areas. We expect departures to resume at other airports at 9 am ET.” The FAA said it was working to restore a system that alerts pilots to hazards and changes to airport facilities and procedures that had stopped processing updated information.
Shares of US carriers fell in Wednesday’s premarket trading. Southwest Airlines was down 2.4%, while Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and American Airlines were down about 1%.A NOTAM is a notice containing information essential to personnel concerned with flight operations, but not known far enough in advance to be publicized by other means.
Germany’s Lufthansa and Air France both said they were continuing to operate flights to and from the United States, while the French airline said it was monitoring the situation.
