A key Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) system that provides safety messages to pilots experienced an outage for several hours on Saturday before resuming operations, the agency and airlines said.

The outage of the "Notice to Airmen" system is the latest incident to impact the FAA. In early February, the system also suffered a failure.

The FAA said on Saturday that the main NOTAM system "experienced a temporary outage and the system was reset".

The agency said it is "investigating the root cause, and we are closely monitoring the situation".
