The agency said the issue started overnight with the Notice to Air Missions System (NOTAM).
NOTAM is used to alert pilots about closed runways, equipment outages and other potential hazards along a flight path, the FAA said.
According to the White House Press Secretary, President Biden has been briefed on the situation and there is no evidence that this is a cyberattack.
The President has been briefed by the Secretary of Transportation this morning on the FAA system outage. There is no evidence of a cyberattack at this point, but the President directed DOT to conduct a full investigation into the causes. The FAA will provide regular updates.

According to CVG's flight status website, 24 flights have been delayed and four have been canceled as a result of the mandatory ground stop by the FAA.
There were around 50 flights scheduled to depart from CVG before 9 a.m. It is unclear at this time how this incident will impact travel throughout the day.
