According to an advisory from the FAA Command Center, the FAA halted departures at all U.S. airports for safety reasons at 5:54 a.m. JST on November 14 (3:54 p.m. EST on November 13). The U.S. Secretary of Transportation explained that a communications problem had occurred affecting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security has said there is “no indication, as of yet, that this was a nefarious act.”

Data is CITY’s bulletin translates the FAA’s English-language advisories and U.S. government announcements into Japanese as soon as they are released, and at the same time publishes what to do and the status of flights between Japan and the U.S. for people staying in or traveling on business to the U.S., their families, and corporate staff. The editorial team checks the status of each flight individually.

The AI agents of Data is CITY, provided by Teleport, continuously gather information from FAA advisories, U.S. government announcements, and news reports in Japan and abroad, and the editorial team compiles and publishes the bulletin. The day before, on November 13, Data is CITY also provided real-time coverage of the large-scale Microsoft 365 outage. After the stop is lifted, Teleport plans to keep updating the bulletin, following delays on flights between Japan and the U.S. and announcements about the cause.
