US air traffic came to a standstill on Wednesday after a nationwide network failure in the country's air traffic control system.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a ground stop for all departing flights across the United States due to a reported technical issue with its Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system. This system provides critical safety information to pilots before flights. The FAA is currently working to restore the system and resume normal air traffic operations. The cause of the outage is still under investigation.
