May 11 (UPI) — Operations are returning to normal after a unrelated equipment issues prompted ground stops at Newark Liberty and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International airports Sunday, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.
“Technicians are working to address the problem,” the FAA said of the Newark issue.
“The FAA briefly slowed aircraft in and out of the airport while we ensured redundancies were working as designed,” the agency said on X. “Operations have returned to normal.”
As of Sunday afternoon, at least 150 flights to and from Newark were delayed and 80 were canceled. The FAA issued the ground stop Sunday morning and later downgraded the directive to a slowdown.
Separately, a “runway equipment issue” caused hundreds of flights in Atlanta to be delayed by a ground stop, and the a two-hour ground delay, which a Delta Airlines spokesperson told reporters was delayed an outage at the airport and weather.

I remember seeing stuff like that back in the 60s and 70s.
local news story indicated the Newark Air Traffic Control still uses floppy disks in (some of) their systems.
DEI technicians, or did they go full speed and consult Katy Perry and her aero-tech colleagues?
Duffy did a presser with some of it on display. 70s and 89s equipment. More here...
What doesn’t get talked about enough is funding.
Congress has always done funding piecemeal, which is why this never got fixed.
The president want this upgrade to be fully funded now. No more piecemeal. Fully funded and implemented. No more screwing around.
Wow
70s and 80s equipment.
Fully fund it, Congress.
No more screwing around.
I saw the presser.
I know what I saw.
But I can’t find any pics or vid that show the aged equipment on display.
Go figure.
I wonder how much and time it would be to fix it all. I am thinking all the airports in the country need to be fixed?
This is literally a “Who is John Galt” moment.
They are still using stuff my company sold them 40 years ago..............
I see the US as 50 separate “mostly sovereign” countries within a single federation, similar to the EU.
It looks like among its member counties are a few third world nations that are best avoided. I see California and New Jersey as part of that group.
OK, we’ll do it this way. Bleep the enemedia. From Dan Millican’s YouTube channel, Taking Off, which I highly recommend, BTW. If you’re in a hurry, advance to 5m35s of the 12 min vid. There’s Duffy with the equipment displayed...

Radio talk show host Lars Larsson looked into it and according to him computers are from the 1980s and 90s.
Maybe they’re using TRS-80s.
Yes, my company made some of that stuff!
It was the best technology of the 70’s and 80’s.
It is now obsolete, many parts are no longer manufactured, it is inefficient power-hungry electronics that could be replaced with modern up-to-date circuitry less than half the size or even less.
An entire rack full of equipment that switches video from one place to another can be replaced by a single chip on a board the size of your smartphone............
Sherry? Burroughs? Remington Rand?
Ours was custom designed.................
What doesn’t get talked about enough is the utter incompetence of Federal Agency technology acquisition. People who wander up to the high levels of these agencies understand nothing about technology. It’s like Michelle’s Obamacare site that didn’t work. DEI is another symptom, but what it is a symptom of is another wrong idea for some probably white bureaucrat to climb higher while not being able to do useful work.
Good thing no one told Biden about Directive to 10-289.
