A ground delay is currently affecting some flights heading to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) due to an equipment outage, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA has implemented a ground stop for select departing flights from certain regions en route to DFW. While this is not a systemwide ground stop, passengers may still experience delays.
The FAA is also slowing flights into Dallas Love Field as a result of the same equipment issue.
The agency reports that disruptions could continue for several hours, potentially through 5 p.m. The specific nature of the equipment issue has not been disclosed, but it has been traced to Dallas TRACON, a regional air traffic control facility. The FAA says it is investigating the cause.
Travelers are strongly advised to check with their airline for the latest flight information.
‘We’ve lost all radar and phone communications,’ the controller in the Dallas Love Field Air Traffic Control tower said in audio recorded by LiveATC.net.
AVIATION PING!................or lack thereof...............
Dang , they just had new equipment installed in 1992!................
Kansas City reporting similar problems.
The hotels around DFW will be filled tonight.
“””Dang , they just had new equipment installed in 1992!................”””
Did the Commodore 6400 finally crap out??? Get to K-Mart and get some new floppy disks, STAT.
I saw a video of an Easter block former commie e8ropeab country where an auto repair shop was r8nning their business on a TRS 80 Radio Shack computer.
I put even my ugly girls out on the street today
Rumor has that this is due to something which rhymes with “bicrosoft bindows” ... :).
“Dang , they just had new equipment installed in 1992!................”
Yeah, but they were still using the power plugs from 1902.
If you look at flightradar24, there are several planes stacked up on the tarmac. That would not be pleasant at DFW.
Need to go back to telegraphs and morse code if those new-fangled telephone thingys don't work.
