A technology upgrade overloaded aging FAA equipment Friday, triggering a nationwide ground stop that lasted more than four hours. Microsoft also suffered a global outage tied to a network-capacity upgrade. Neither incident has been linked to a cyberattack.
The FAA has already committed $12.5 billion to modernizing air traffic systems. The White House wants another $30 billion. That is a lot of money, and the equipment still failed during an upgrade. Airlines and passengers got the bill in delays.
