*🇺🇸-✈️Hundreds Of Flights Grounded After Midwest Air Traffic Control Outage* A major outage at the Minneapolis air traffic control center knocked out radar and radio systems Thursday, grounding and diverting hundreds of flights across nine states. The facility covers about 330,000 square miles, including Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, and surrounding Midwest states. Planes headed into and out of the region were held or rerouted. Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport saw average delays of around 90 minutes, with impacts also reported in Michigan, Wisconsin, and other nearby airports. Systems came back online later in the afternoon, but residual delays continued into the evening. The FAA is investigating the cause.
