Computer problem triggers several flight delays at airport
Updated: 07/14/2004 10:17:53 AM - VIDEO

MINNEAPOLIS - A major computer malfunction is causing huge traffic problems at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has learned that a Northwest Airlines computer that provides critical information to flight crews went down Wednesday morning. Dozens of flights are affected.

As of 9:45, 41 departing Northwest flights have not been able to take off. Also, because those planes are still at gates, incoming flights have nowhere to go.

A source with the Federal Aviation Administration said the computer that malfunction is now recovering slowly.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has also learned of a similar problem with Northwest computers that happened a couple weeks ago. That malfunction also caused significant delays in morning flights at the airport.

Watch 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS for updates on this developing story.

BBL!
