Orlando Airport ground stop lifted
A ground stop at Orlando International Airport has been lifted.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced Orlando flights were up and running again after a radar equipment outage.
Flights are currently running with average delays of about 30 minutes, as services get back on track.
The federal safety agency said the ground stop was issued due to ‘a radar issue at the Central Florida Terminal Radar Approach Control.’
The airport announced the problem earlier on social media, advising passengers to check with their airline first before heading to the airport.
Our airport is currently under a ground stop due to an FAA equipment issue. This may affect airline operations, including flight schedules and baggage delivery,” it said.
Some delays are expected to continue until the evening.
