Flights in and out of GSP airport delayed as part of nationwide FAA outage
Airlines delayed several arrivals and departures nationwide and at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport Wednesday morning due to a computer outage at the Federal Aviation Administration.
At 9 a.m., nine of 35 scheduled arrivals at GSP were delayed, and 18 of 38 departures were delayed.
"Flights at GSP are affected by the nationwide ground stoppage due to a technical outage at the FAA," GSP spokeswoman Tiffany Cherry said. "Some airports are beginning to accept flights. Passengers are encouraged to check with airlines for updated flight status information."

A computer glitch at the FAA was blamed for delays of more than 3,700 flights in and out of the United States just before 8:30 a.m. and nearly 600 flights in the country were canceled, according to the tracking website FlightAware.
The FAA asked airlines to pause all domestic departures until 9 a.m. this morning, although some flights had resumed prior to then.
The FAA is working to restore its Notice to Air Missions System. We are performing final validation checks and reloading the system now.
Operations across the National Airspace System are affected.
We will provide frequent updates as we make progress.— The FAA ✈️ (@FAANews) January 11, 2023
The outage is a result of the failure of the FAA's NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) system, which alerts pilots about airborne issues and other delays at airports, according to the FAA.
