Canada Suffers Same Mysterious Air System Outage as US, Delaying More Flights
Canada’s air traffic system suffered a similar outage to the one that occurred in the US for a brief period on Wednesday.
US air travel was badly disrupted by the failure of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Notice to Air Missions system (NOTAM) overnight on Tuesday, forcing a full ground stop of domestic aviation on Wednesday morning.
Nav Canada, the Canadian national air navigation service provider, released a statement just after 12.30pm as US airlines struggled to resume normal service.
“Nav Canada’s Canadian NOTAM entry system is currently experiencing an outage affecting newly issued NOTAMs, and we are working to restore function.”
“We are not currently experiencing any delays related to this outage. We are assessing impacts to our operations and will provide updates as soon as they are available.”
At approximately 2.30pm Nav Canada released a further statement saying that the NOTAM system has been restored.
A tweet posted by the agency stated: “Nav Canada continues to investigate the cause of the outage; at this time, we do not believe it to be related to the FAA outage experienced earlier today.”
Flights from Canada were partially impacted by the US outage, which lasted until approximately 9am when operations were allowed to resume.
