At least 60 flights departing from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and Miami International airports have been delayed as of Monday afternoon after technical difficulties at the Federal Aviation Administration Miami Center.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in an email that flights to and from parts of South Florida were halted for about an hour after a “radar issue,” affecting the Miami and Jacksonville control centers.
A system outage happened shortly after 2 p.m., said Greg Chin, a spokesperson for Miami International Airport. Airport officials said in a tweet about 3:15 p.m. that the technical difficulty has been fixed but it will take “some time” for normal operations to resume.
