The US Federal Aviation Administration ordered airlines to “pause all domestic departures” this morning as it tries to deal with an outage in a critical computer system.<\/p>\n

The agency said in a tweet<\/a> that its Notice to Air Mission Systems (NOTAM) system was offline, affecting operations throughout US airspace.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

Systems have begun coming back online, but the FAA said at 0719 US Eastern Time that it was ordering domestic departures be paused until it could “validate the integrity of flight and safety information.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Twitter users noted that planes have taken off from their gates, with some taxing onto the runway before returning to gates as departure times were pushed out.<\/p>\n

FlightAware, a website that tracks flight status around the world, showed 1,304 delays and 48 cancellations at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
