FAA Outage: Over 1200 US Flights were Delayed due to System Down.

On 12 Jan 2023, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) experienced a widespread system outage that caused major disruptions to air travel across the United States. The outage affected the FAA’s Air Traffic Control (ATC) system, which directs and coordinates aircraft movement in the airspace.

As a result of the FAA outage, flights were grounded or delayed at airports across the country. The FAA implemented a ground stop for all flights headed to the affected airports, which meant that flights already in the air were allowed to land, but no new flights were allowed to take off. This caused widespread cancellations and delays for travelers, with some flights being rerouted to alternative airports.
