'This is a widespread issue affecting multiple departure facilities across the country,' the FAA said, noting that other airports in the network, ranging from ZLA in Los Angeles to ZMP in Minneapolis, are included in the affected routing.
Flights are currently delayed at two New York City area airports on Thursday, according to the FAA. JFK customers face delays of up to 30 minutes for departures, and inbound flights are delayed an average of 2 hours.
