Airports across the US are experiencing flight delays today after a communications breakdown at a Federal Aviation Administration facility, the FAA said.

From CNN:

“The facility south of Atlanta was having problems processing data, requiring that all flight-plan information be processed through a facility in Salt Lake City, Utah — overloading that facility. The two facilities process all flight plans for commercial and general aviation flights in the United States, said FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen.

The administration said there are no radar outages and said they have not lost contact with any planes. The roughly 5,000 flights that were in the air when the breakdown happened were not affected — just those that were waiting to take off.”

The FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center Flight Delay Information website provides real time updates on flight delays as well as expected delay times.
