Our following breaking news for you this morning about a
widespread outage starting with Microsoft that is having tremendous ripple
effects, disrupting flights, banks, media outlets and shipping around the
world.
And we're also hearing it's affecting some police forces in
New York City as well and some 911 services in
the city.
However, we've checked here up and running in the Capital
Region.
Our 911 service is full right now in service.
However, we want to give you a live look inside
Albany National Airport where the FAA is announcing some ground
stoppages right now, right?
And we know so far that Delta and United have
asked the Federal Aviation Administration to ground their flights.
So there is a ground stoppage for Delta and United
flights.
United commenting on this just a short time ago, saying
they are very much aware of the outage and they
are trying to restore what they can.
American Airlines had grounded flights, but they have now resumed
operations.
But you're looking at our local airport right here as
we are still working to get a comment, the local
authorities there at Albany International.
But plenty of people are waiting on long lines here
hoping that they'll get more information.
Some flights are not.
I think we have that board stuff to show everybody
the flights.
We want to show you the departure board.
And this is what we're seeing right now.
So we are seeing all flights, almost all of them
delayed at this time that are heading out right now.
A couple of different airlines are still on time currently.
However, later in the day, we're still seeing these flights
that are on time.
But clearly as we're seeing, those airports are starting to
fill up right now, that includes Albany International as well.
Again, we have reached out to Albany International to get
a comment and find out what our situation here is
locally for people flying this morning.
But however, we have not heard back just yet.
We are waiting for that return call.
Delays are happening right now.
We're going to keep you updated on what's going to
happen throughout the day.
Again, American Airlines back up and running, but many of
the other airlines are at a ground stoppage.
Yeah, when you feel the global impact of this, it's
certainly will continue to have that domino effect, at least
for a little while.
Maybe some progress with regard to American Airlines.
They're resuming service, but we'll keep everybody posted on it.
