At least 700 planes in US have been affected due to a massive system outage, causing all flights in US grounded. Shockingly enough, the flights have been grounded for an indefinite amount of time as the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has suffered a huge system glitch. Thousands of passengers are stranded across the nation, reports claim. Pilots and airline crew has also been warned about the glitch as the system has been failing to process updated information.

“The FAA is 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. We will provide frequent updates as we make progress,” the FAA announced in its tweet.

It should be noted that thousands of passengers are stranded across US with flights delayed in busy airports from Philadelphia, Tampa and Honolulu. Further, there have been reports of delays at Ronald Reagan Washington airport in Arlington, Virginia.

Reportedly, the ATC Command Centre has warned passengers to be prepare for long delays, and admitted having no solution to the problem that has arisen. An update from 6.30 EST stated that there were 760 delays for flights in and out of US.

“Technicians are currently working to restore the system,” the FAA website showed.
