Biden has ordered the Department of Transportation to "thoroughly investigate" the cause of the civil aviation system downtime. Jean-Pierre also said that there is currently no evidence to prove that the downtime of the civil aviation system was caused by a cyber attack.

According to CNN, the fault may have been caused by a corrupted file in the flight mission notification system (NOTAM), and a corrupted file was also found in the backup system used in emergency situations.
