By Jim Hoft
On Wednesday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that America’s airspace was shut down for several hours across the US.
The FAA is the largest transportation agency of the U.S. government that oversees many aspects of America’s aviation, including air traffic management.
The issue affected the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system, which provides pilots with real-time information about closed runways, equipment outages, and other potential hazards.
More than 7,000 flights were delayed after the outage.
