ATLANTA (AP) - Winter weather has led to flight delays at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Federal Aviation Administration officials say a ground delay is in effect at Atlanta’s airport Wednesday evening as snow and rain continue moving through north Georgia.
FAA officials say a ground delay means flights that have been held because of severe weather may not depart from Atlanta until they’re given clearance. Officials say the delay times are calculated to ensure a steady flow of air traffic.
FAA air traffic control command center officials say some flights arriving to Atlanta have been delayed by an average of 1 hour and 20 minutes. A ground stop had been implemented at the airport Wednesday afternoon, which could impact schedules for flights departing from Atlanta.
