Dallas/Fort Worth affected by radio outage

Airport spokesman Ken Capps at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport said on 19 November that a software problem disrupted radio communications at control towers early in the day.

According to Capps, flights in and out of Dallas were delayed by up to an hour, although the problems were solved at both towers after about 30 minutes. Both arriving and departing flights were affected by the outage, according to the Federal Aviation Administration's Air Traffic Control System Command Center, as the FAA declared a "ground stop". A ground stop cuts incoming flights by holding aircraft on the ground at their point of departure.
