A computer glitch at the Federal Aviation Administration delayed airline traffic across much of the country.
RELATED: Here's why we're seeing so many flight cancellations and delays
A computer glitch at the Federal Aviation Administration delayed airline traffic across much of the nation early Wednesday, and the agency said it was working to restore the system. The FAA instituted a nationwide pause on departures, known as a ground stop, for part of the morning Wednesday but that order had been lifted by 9 a.m. ET.
Nearly 5,500 flights within, into, or out of the U.S. were delayed as of 10 a.m. ET, according to the tracking website FlightAware, and almost 900 flights in the country were canceled. With 19,621 domestic flights scheduled on Monday, according to Cirium data, those numbers are almost certain to rise as airlines recover their operations.
United Airlines issued a waiver for travelers at certain airports, allowing passengers whose flights were affected to alter their plans without paying a change fee or fare difference.

Old News 🗞️
I think 💭 they are moving now
Russian hacking?
Maybe Pete should focus more on airlines than racist roads and racist bridges
Is this Putin?
Hacker attack…
North Korea?
Russia?
I hope they covered their tracks well…. That’s an act of war. We’d have to respond.
And I’m just not in a mood for a war right now.
I know it’s probably inevitable… but if we could get thru today not doing that, that would be great😆👍🏻
