The FAA has resumed normal operations after a system outage grounded flights across the US including at O'Hare and Midway airports.
At about 7:15 a.m., the FAA said it was making progress restoring its systems and departures were resuming in Newark and Atlanta.
A senior official briefed on the FAA computer problems told ABC News a software issue developed late Tuesday night, and led to a "cascading" series of IT failures culminating in Wednesday's roughly 90-minute ground stop.As of 11:25 a.m., O'Hare reported delays averaging 50 minutes with 108 flight cancellations. At Midway, delays were averaging 74 minutes with 51 flight cancellations.
"United was very good about updating the app on delays. I had a pretty tight time between landing and getting to the meeting with the delay. It was a half hour, and then it was an hour, and at the hour point I decided to just call it a day and stay in Chicago, and the gate agent was very good about canceling me and getting a flight credit," said Mark Salisbury, whose flight to Minneapolis was disrupted.
