grounded right now. i want to take you to the scene, this is in las vegas. keep in mind, okay, this is a system that pilots use for any kind of notification. not clear how many flights are affected or which locations. we want to get straight to pete muntean but we re told new information pete as we get to you perhaps you have information on this. united has delayed all flights temporarily as well. what is going on? reporter: so far we ve heard from american and united airlines. united said it s holding all flights on the ground right now because of the major system outage, the notice to air missions system. that means pilots cannot receive critical information they need to take off. these have to do with whether or not runways are open, navigational aids are available to pilots. this is critical stuff making sure the pilots know things are not available or may not be working. we are hearing the cancellations and delays are going up. so far the delays have doubled in the las
information as passengers. most of us are stumbling to the gate at 6:00 a.m., 7:00 a.m. flights. and frankly i think it s a good thing that s early in the morning because most passengers in miami aren t energetic enough to be pissed off yet. everyone is sleepily and lethat are g lethargic waiting for more news. they said the flights are delayed, something to do with faa, and everything else i m learning is listening to you. are you on the plane or in the airport? no, at the gate. you re at the gate. this is interesting. ana, stand by for us. pete muntean if you re still with us. apparently no flights are delayed into the u.s. from europe. so amsterdam, frankfurt, paris,
