The US FAA is a system that informs pilots about any hazards or any changes in the operations or airport facility.
The technical glitch, as stated by the aviation department, has brought the air traffic to a grinding halt. People across the country are reportedly struck at different locations due to sudden break in services.
Though, it is too early to say but reports are abuzz that this may have the result of some cyber attack on US aviation system. Since, the aviation system has failed, making it difficult to process information, experts are not ruling out possible cyber attack.
