Heads up, travelers! A recent outage affecting the US pilot messaging system, known as NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions), has raised concerns about potential flight delays, particularly on Sunday. This system is crucial for relaying essential safety information to pilots, including runway closures, equipment malfunctions, and other potential hazards along their flight paths. Without access to timely and accurate NOTAM data, pilots may face restrictions or delays.
While the FAA is working diligently to restore full functionality and mitigate any disruptions, passengers are advised to check their flight status with their airline before heading to the airport. Delays, although not guaranteed, are a possibility as airlines adjust schedules and pilots ensure they have all necessary safety information before takeoff. Stay informed and be prepared for potential changes to your travel plans!
