Members of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation are demanding answers about a recent FAA system failure that resulted in a halt of U.S. air traffic for the first time since 9/11.
Acting FAA director Billy Nolen appeared before the committee on Feb. 15 to testify about the failure of the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) system, which resulted in the delayed takeoff of nearly 10,000 flights and the cancellation of more than 1,000 others.
