A ground stop was ordered at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport on Sunday due to an equipment outage.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued the ground stop at 10:40 a.m. ET on Mother's Day.
'Departures to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International are grounded due to equipment outage,' the agency said.
The ground stop was issued for flights scheduled to leave from East Coast area airports bound for Atlanta, reported Atlanta News First.
Arrivals were slowed down due to 'a runway equipment issue,' and technicians worked to fix the issue.
The ground stop was lifted shortly before 12:30 p.m., and departures continued to be delayed by 20 minutes.
The FAA's Air Traffic Control System Command Center implemented a traffic management program at the travel hub.
'There is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport,' said the FAA.

Has Trump been blamed yet?
did Atlanta let men into the women’s rest room?
Biden winks
Nailed it!
The FAA manages the ATC and regulates the carriers. They do not run the airports. A “runway problem” sounds like Hartsfield problem…not a Federal problem.
The reporting on this is vague. Without some specificity, it is silly to start assigning blame.
Atlanta + Newark: beginning to look that way.
Why didn’t Obama fix it? That’s what I’d ask him.
Oh yes. The libs in my realm blame Trump
But all at once?
Starting to smell like it.
That or the Biden admin intentionally left a mess.
Does Spirit Airlines fly into Atlanta?...if so, ho lee sh...
I am going to repeat:
They want to continue hating Trump
Can’t fix stupid. Cannot fix illogical
Cannot fix hatred.
You can talk logic all day long and come out with a lower IQ. But you will not fix their thinking. Ever.
Newark is in New Jersey...
Then Hartsfield is said to have a ground equipment outage. Then they break it down to 'a runway equipment issue.' Is that an approach control beam? Any of you aviators or Navaids experts care to speak about this. Something as crazy as a police radar aimed at the shack at the end of the runway?
The reporting on this is vague. Without some specificity, it is silly to start assigning blame.
Not silly, if the sheeple buy into it being Trump’s fault.
“There is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport,’ said the FAA.” ‘Traffic Management Program’, huh? I wonder who authored it?
It would be the fault of the utter incompetence of federal senior executives in charge of buying technology. Dey don no nuffin’ about it. These just followin’ the rulz they followed to make their bosses happy to get their jobs.
Even Truman Capote admitted it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OnHZWLHxVU
I was just thinking the same thing reading this. All of the sudden, we've got equipment failures all over the place?
