A glitch in the Air Mission Notification System caused numerous delays and cancellations of flights taking off from U.S. airports. It is estimated that more than 500 aircraft were affected by the error.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that it is gradually resuming air traffic, allowing the airline to rush to fix the system failure to restore normal traffic at U.S. airports:

The FAA asked all airlines to halt operations until 9 a.m. Eastern time, although takeoffs have resumed at Newark (New Jersey) and Hartsfield-Jackson (Atlanta) airports:

The FAA has ordered airlines to pause all domestic departures until 9 a.m. ET so the agency can validate the integrity of flight and safety information.
