 Newark, Atlanta airports experience more terrifying air traffic control outages, bringing flights to a standstill

Almost 80 flights have been cancelled and more than 60 delayed at Newark airport after yet another equipment outage brought more chaos to the the NYC-area hub.

A 45-minute ground stop was ordered on Sunday morning by the FAA following the outage at Newark’s ATC facility, officials told WABC.Then, a short time later a different outage hit Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport — the busiest in the country.

“Runway equipment issues” resulted in delays and ground stops for nearly all flights arriving at Atlanta.

The FAA said “technicians are working to address the problem” after the problem slowed arrivals about 10:30 a.m.

“An equipment outage at ATL’s Air Traffic Control Tower is currently causing delays for inbound and outbound aircraft. For further details please contact the FAA. In the meantime, we encourage passengers to contact their respective airlines and visit ATL.com for further information on their individual travel itineraries,” an FAA spokesperson told 11Alive.

At Newark, the problem was yet again the Philadelphia-based air traffic control center that controls the airport.

You couldn't pay me to get on a plane these days.  I'd rather take a Hound.  You travel with a better class of people.

What happened to all that money for infrastructure?  Did it all go to bicyle lanes?

Funny how all this stuff started happening the day Trump took office. Not a peep before that.

MORE drama at Newark Airport?
Customers are now seeing a grounds crew member directing planes while wearing a keffiyeh, a symbol that’s been appropriated to promote violence against the Jewish people.
