NOTAM Management Service (NMS)

The Federal Aviation (FAA) is accelerating the modernization of the current U.S. NOTAM System (USNS) and Federal NOTAM System (FNS) to improve the delivery of safety critical information to aviation stakeholders. The agency will replace the current systems with a new cloud-based NOTAM service provided by CGI Federal, Inc, an FAA-approved vendor.

The modernization will provide near-real time data exchange, enabling efficient dataflows and better stakeholder collaboration. The system will be securely hosted in the cloud and enable a scalable and resilient architecture that seamlessly accommodates current and future requirements.

This is part of a broader effort to modernize the entire air traffic control system to make the U.S. airspace safer and more efficient. The FAA plans to deploy the operational service by late Spring 2026, after which USNS and FNS will be sunset.

The FAA is working with NOTAM stakeholders to provide guidance on this transition via monthly stakeholder meetings. Questions about this can be sent to NOTAMS@faa.gov.
