All flights to the United States have been temporarily delayed due to a glitch in the radar system used for navigating oceanic crossings, an NBC News reporter said on Tuesday, citing a pilot.
“Pilot on overhead on AMS flight to JFK about to take off says the radar system that facilitates the oceanic crossings is down so all traffic heading to the US can’t take off. All flights will be grounded for several hours. Heading back to the gate,” NBC News Producer Susan Kroll tweeted.
A representative of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told Sputnik that US flights have not been impacted.
“US flights were not affected,” the representative said.
