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.

Deliberate sabotage to make Trump look bad?
Its old equipment, it was going to break down eventually, better to be safe than sorry
My liberal Obama loving Biden accepting relative asked me why hasn’t doge fixed this.
Wouldn’t this be Pete butt-plug’s fault?
Wow that’s a cluster mess
I’m sure it even goes back further, but you know how these people operate.
"equipment failure" my arse.
With the Democrats’ tacit approval. Anything to get Trump.
Aw, man, whatever happened to “Kick the tire, light the fire, brief on guard, and first one in the air gets the lead”?
$36 trillion down the crapper and Newark International never saw a cent of it to upgrade their equipment. Who’s fault is that?
Yep. Duffy is asking for $12 billion for airport upgrades and for ATCs. I would give him $25 billion. Small price to pay to insure safe & reliable air travel. I mean, $25 billion is nothing to the Feds. Nothing. And for that, they can modernize every airport and put a dent in the ATC shortage.
Do it. Congress is useless as tits on a boar so I don’t expect them to do anything.
It is, that’s right.
Once is questionable, twice in a week is sabatoge.
And to think the filth Biden and the filthy democrats squanderd a trillion plus on grift with the wretched “Inflation Reducion Act” instead of on desperately needed infrastructure.
“””Deliberate sabotage to make Trump look bad?”””
I was about to write the same thing.
Trump needs to do a Reagan and fire the whole lot of the FAA.
“ And to think the filth Biden and the filthy democrats squanderd a trillion plus on grift with the wretched “Inflation Reducion Act” instead of on desperately needed infrastructure”
His supporters are not only not apologetic for it, they want to harass Trump for it
They want to continue hating Trump
Can’t fix stupid. Cannot fix illogical
Cannot fix hatred.
I would LOVE to see some journalist/investigator do an actual “inventory” of what Butt-Plug actually DID for four years....besides roll his eyes at the intractability of all problems in his realm of “expertise”, because, after all, they’re all caused by racism, and “we have to fix that first” that is literally their “way of looking at things”.....they don’t acknowledge that problems need PRACTICAL solutions....
Hmmm, closely timed failures.
Couldn’t have been related, could they?
Nope, must have been a coincidence.
Or...perhaps Trump’s fault.
But most certainly not the fault of the most inept pair of presidents - folks who’d have failed even the most elementary STEM course - the infamous Dorkbama and Pedo Joe.
