Computer Glitch Grounds Flights, Affects Travel Across the Country

The Federal Aviation Administration has said a computer glitch at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is to blame for numerous flight cancellations and delays that are expected to extend throughout the day.

According to the FAA the computer system at the airports stopped processing flight plans properly leaving several planes across the eastern coast sitting on runways.

While the glitch has been fixed, the nearly five-hour outage will continue to leave many passengers stranded as airports struggle to get back on schedule.

FAA officials did say that the outage did not cause safety issues for those planes already in the air as their flight plans had already been entered. With the computer system down the air traffic controllers were forced to enter flight plans manually, causing the long delays.
