Canadian air navigation service Nav Canada reported an outage of its Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system on the same day a similar shutdown of the US Federal Aviation Administration’s system prompted a nationwide take-off ban.
The Canadian NOTAM system’s outage, which affected newly issued notices, occurred from 10:20 to 13:15 Eastern Time on 11 January, according to Nav Canada. Unlike the system failure in the USA, the outage did not disrupt airline schedules.
