MADISON, Wis.– The Federal Aviation Administration halted all domestic flight departures across the United States Wednesday after the system providing pilots with pre-flight safety notices went offline.
Those impacts are being seen at Dane County Regional Airport as well.

Airport officials said the grounding affects all commercial flights.
Just before 8 a.m., Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said the ground stop had been lifted, and the root cause of the stoppage would be reviewed.
FAA has determined that the safety system affected by the overnight outage is fully restored, and the nationwide ground stop will be lifted effective immediately. I have directed an after-action process to determine root causes and recommend next steps.

Airport officials said planes will be released gradually, meaning flight delays should still be expected.
