WASHINGTON, March 22 (Reuters) – A U.S. Federal Aviation Administration system that provides safety messages to pilots experienced an outage for several hours on Saturday before resuming operations, the agency and airlines said.
The outage of the “Notice to Airmen” system for more than three hours on Saturday was due to a hardware issue. In early February, the system known as NOTAM also suffered a failure.
