Canadians travelling to the US experience mass delays due to "system outage"
It’s been quite the morning for passengers as an outage in the US has caused massive delays in Canadian airports, especially on the east coast.
On January 11, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that it was working to restore its Notice to Air Missions System.
“We are performing final validation checks and reloading the system now. Operations across the National Airspace System are affected,” reads the tweet. “We will provide frequent updates as we make progress.”
