A computer malfunction in the US Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) system, involving access to flight plans, is causing nationwide flight cancellations and delays today, Fox News reports.

The FAA’s computer systems are having trouble retrieving flight plans and in some cases they must be inputted by hand.

FAA’s spokeswoman didn’t know, how many flights are affected or when the matter will be resolved, but the cause is being investigated.

The technical difficulties aren’t affecting air traffic control’s systems, controllers hhave radio coverage and communications with planes.
