The FAA said the problem, which affected mostly flight plans but also traffic management, was fixed around 10 am, but was vague on the additional flight delay time caused by the five-hours-long glitch.
A spokesman for the National Air Traffic Controllers Union, Doug Church, said controllers were still entering flight plans manually in some locations. Aviation officials added that the problem began at a computer center in the Salt Lake City area.
