Radar Failure Grounds Departing Jetliners
- Share via
Departing flights were grounded at Denver International Airport after the airport’s main radar failed for more than an hour, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
A few flights were able to land with the help of an FAA traffic control center in Longmont, about 25 miles northwest, said Mike O’Connor, an FAA regional official in Renton, Wash. Others were diverted to Colorado Springs, about 55 miles south.
The cause of the problem wasn’t immediately known. Dozens of flights were affected by the outage and flight delays continued through the evening.
