Flights Impacted, Diverted Due To Outage In NY
The FAA experienced a software outage at its New York Centre today [Nov 16] which resulted in a temporary ground stop of flights in the region including all Bermuda inbound and outbound traffic, while some flights that were already airborne were diverted to Bermuda.
A Skyport spokesperson said, “At approximately 11:30am this morning, the FAA experienced a software outage at its New York Centre affecting its Air Traffic Control Services for flights operating over parts of the North Atlantic Ocean.
“The outage resulted in a temporary ground stop of flights in the region including all Bermuda inbound and outbound traffic.
“As flights were unable to take-off or land during the outage, some flights already airborne, were diverted to the L.F. Wade International Airport including five departing the East Coast that were en-route to Barbados and St. Martin respectively.
“By approximately 1:30pm, the software issue had been resolved and the ground stop lifted. The five flights that had been diverted to the island, were refueled and cleared for departure shortly thereafter, while the regularly scheduled Delta flight 1773 to New York JFK, normally due to depart at 1:00 pm, left the Island at 2:05 pm.
“Regularly scheduled flights to Bermuda from Atlanta, Philadelphia, Toronto and Boston that had been temporarily grounded have been cleared to depart and are now set to arrive later this afternoon.
“Passengers affected by today’s delays are encouraged to contact their respective airlines for updates on departure and arrival times.”
