“The FAA is working to restore its Notice to Air Missions System,” says the FAA. “We are performing final validation checks and reloading the system now. Operations across the National Airspace System are affected.”
The FAA published a series of tweets updating the issue:
The system sends out critical real-time flight hazards and restrictions to all commercial pilots. Airlines simply cannot fly safely without it.
Progress on restoring the system is being made, and some flights have been allowed to depart from some airports to help ease congestion.
