ORLANDO, FLORIDA (FOX 35) – The Federal Aviation Administration said a computer issue with one of its air traffic systems – which prompted flight delays at several Florida airports – has been resolved, and that it was working to resume its normal flight schedules.
Orlando International Airport, Tampa International Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and Miami International Airport all saw flight delays, according to Flight Aware, an online website that tracks flight delays and cancelations.
“The computer issue has been resolved. The FAA is working toward safely returning to a normal traffic rate in the Florida airspace,” the FAA said in an updated statement on Monday afternoon.
The FAA said Monday was already expected to be a busy travel day with some 42,000 flights scheduled – and a week after thousands of flights were delayed or canceled across the country due to the winter storm over Christmas weekend and internal system issues at Southwest Airlines.
