The US Federal Aviation Authority has ordered a temporary halt to all domestic flight departures after a major system outage disrupted air traffic across the country.
Airlines and airports were left scrambling with news of the nationwide pause, as the White House said there was no immediate evidence of a cyberattack.
The FAA said a key process had been “impaired” after a problem with its Notice to Air Missions system (NOTAM), which provides information to flight crews about hazards, changes to airport facilities and other essential information.
