Travel chaos as Dallas is forced to close BOTH its airports after 'issues with radar and radio'Daily Mail

Travelers in Dallas are facing major disruptions after ground stops were issued at both airports on Friday afternoon.
The ground stop at Dallas Love Field (DAL) began at 1:58pm local time and is set to continue until 5:00pm.
While Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) experienced a similar halt starting at 1:54pm, it was also scheduled to end at 5:00 p.m.
During the outage, DFW reported over 5,200 delayed flights, with maximum delays reaching three hours and an average of more than two hours. DAL logged over 3,400 delayed flights, with similar averages.
FAA officials warned that the probability of the delays extending is medium, meaning travelers should expect continued disruption through the evening.
Meanwhile, Kansas City International Airport (MCI/KCI) is operating under a 'one in, one out' system due to failures in radar and radio equipment that control approach clearances.
Under this system, only one plane can arrive or depart at a time, creating cascading delays for incoming flights, some of which are being diverted to other regional airports.
Travelers are advised to contact their airlines for updated flight information.
