The FAA’s Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system faced a nationwide outage, disrupting flight operations across the US. The system, crucial for relaying important hazard warnings to pilots and airports, went down late Saturday, February 1, causing concerns over flight delays just days after two deadly plane crashes. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy assured the public that a backup system was in place but warned of "residual delays" as efforts to restore the primary system continued. By Sunday morning, February 2, nearly 500 flights had been delayed, with over 60 cancellations reported. Officials are working to restore full functionality, but no timeline has been given.
