Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) suffered an outage of its system that sends messages to pilots, resulting in a nationwide halt to domestic departures. The outage was caused by a corrupted system file, and the Transportation Secretary has directed an after-action process to determine the root causes and recommend next steps. Airlines have warned of schedule adjustments and waived change fees and fare differences for travelers affected by the outage. The White House has said there is no evidence of a cyberattack at this point, but the President has directed the DOT to conduct a full investigation into the causes.
