Flights Resume After ATC Outage, But Delays Expected to Linger

Flight operations resumed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) following an outage affecting Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems on Monday. The disruption stemmed from a damaged telecommunications line that impacted radar functionality and communication capabilities within the airspace. Crews successfully completed repairs late Monday evening, restoring normal ATC operations after approximately six hours of downtime. Airlines are now working to process backlog flights and manage passenger disruptions resulting from the incident. Significant delays are anticipated throughout Tuesday as air traffic controllers work to catch up with lost time.
