Video Description
Departing aircraft at Orlando International Airport were being held back and inbound flights were halted because of a shortage of air traffic controllers Thursday. The average delay experienced is 161 minutes, or more than two and a half hours. The maximum possible delay is nearly 12 hours. Members of the FAA union confirmed the issue stemmed from a shortage at OIA’s Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON), which also guides planes for the other airports in the region like Melbourne and Sanford.
