All domestic flights across the United States have been suspended due to a computer glitch at the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). CNBC and BBC reported this information. The FAA said it is working to fix the problem. A US national spokeswoman said work was underway to restore the air mission system. Details will be given only if it is okay. National airspace is affected. As of 7 a.m. local time on Wednesday, 1,200 flights were delayed. Many complained that passengers were stranded due to flight delays as many flights did not take off at the airports. Passengers have also expressed anger at many airports. The US aviation sector's national control system has suffered problems due to a flaw in the Notice to Air Mission system. In the morning, the AFA tweeted about the glitch in the system. AFA said in a second tweet that some functions had come on line. Some things are starting to work. In a third tweet shortly after, the FAA said all domestic airlines were asked to ground their flights until 9 a.m. local time. That is, all flights have been asked to stop for about two hours.
