This Wednesday, 11, at airports, flights to the United States had to be temporarily canceled. The justification is that one of the systems that control the airspace crashed, which required the interruption of the air traffic.
Passengers noted that flights were being canceled even though they were on different airlines and from different US airports. In all, around 716 flights were canceled up to 11 am Brasília time. Last Tuesday, the 10th, 201 flights were canceled and 10,000 trips were delayed.

US flights are canceled for hours
To ensure the safety of travelers, international and domestic flights that were scheduled in the US between 9:30 am and 10:50 am, Brasilia time, did not take off. The guidance was provided by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
“Normal air traffic operations are gradually resuming in the U.S. after an interruption night of the Alert to Airnavigators system, which provides safety information to the crews of flight. The takeoff lock has been lifted,” the FAA said.
So far, there is no specific cause for the system outage. Maria Cantwell, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce in the country, reported that they will investigate the reason. The White House has ruled out the influence of a cyberattack on the system, and Joe Biden has ordered a detailed investigation of the case to begin.
“We'll look at what caused this outage and how redundancy plays a role in preventing future outages. The public needs an air transport system and resilient”, pointed out Maria Cantwell.
The US determination has also caused delays in Europe. In Spain, in Madrid, the flights that were leaving the North American country, as reported, were unable to take off for hours. The same thing happened in Paris, France, when they were told that flights to the US would be delayed.
