An equipment problem at the Federal Aviation Administration's Approach Control in San Diego temporarily delayed flights at Lindbergh Field Thursday morning and resulted in a ground stop of all flights at Los Angeles International Airport.
Personnel at the San Diego International Airport were notified around 8 a.m. that malfunctioning FAA equipment was causing some departing flight delays, airport spokeswoman Rebecca Bloomfield said. The exact number of delayed flights was not known.
The issue was resolved around 8:40 a.m., but Bloomfield urged travelers to check the status of their specific flights because sometimes delays can cause a "ripple effect."
At LAX, the computer software problem resulted in a ground stop of all flights for a time before the issue was resolved.
