Flights in New York Area Delayed by Brief Outage
A 30-second power failure at an air traffic control center disrupted flights at major New York-area airports for about 30 minutes, authorities said.
The cause of the afternoon failure was under investigation but was not believed to be related to Thursday’s blackout, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac said.
A couple of hundred flights headed in and out of LaGuardia, John F. Kennedy International and Newark (N.J.) Liberty International airports were delayed.
