BREAKING Flights halted in and out of major Florida airports due to computer issue
"The [Federal Aviation Administration] has slowed the volume of traffic into Florida airspace due to an air traffic computer issue that is being resolved," the federal agency told the Washington Examiner Monday afternoon.
Air traffic control centers use the computer system En Route Automation Modernization to manage aircraft in the skies. The problem Monday stems from an ERAM issue, the FAA added. The FAA website indicated flights to and from six major airports in the southern half of Florida were suspended until further notice. Delays range from an hour to two hours, but the government website states that wait times are expected to continue increasing.
The ground stops come days after Southwest Airlines canceled tens of thousands of flights and left passengers stranded nationwide.
