DFW Airport Flights Delayed Due to Radar Outage
A telecommunications outage on Friday afternoon caused a widespread disruption in air traffic control in Dallas, leading to the grounding of flights at Dallas Love Field and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) attributed the issue to a local telephone company equipment problem, which resulted in air traffic controllers losing radar and communication capabilities. Hundreds of flights were canceled or delayed at the airports as a result. Airlines like American and Southwest issued travel alerts, waiving change fees for affected passengers.
