Regional airlines have grounded scores of flights after reporting an issue with an onboard satellite navigation system, the FAA said.
These regional carriers have canceled about 400 flights scheduled for Sunday, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware. A Delta spokeswoman said about 80 of its regional flights were canceled.
The systems in question are on certain CRJ regional jets made by Canada's Bombardier. The manufacturer did not immediately return a request for comment. The FAA said the system was made by Rockwell Collins, which"We are working to determine the cause of the problem, which may have resulted from a software update to the aircraft navigation systems," the FAA said in a statement, which encouraged travelers to check their flight statuses with airlines.
