We do have CBS News Miami's Morgan Reiner, she's going
to pick up our coverage right now at Miami International
Airport.
And Morgan FLL and also Mia say they are experiencing
delays, so people should check with their airlines before they
head out there.
I know the situation has changed since we first started
talking to you at 5.
What's the latest right now?
So I am starting to talk to some passengers who
are being impacted by these delays.
And one of the families that's actually sleeping on the
floor not too far behind my cameraman right now is
a family with a newborn baby.
They're part of a flight that was supposed to leave
yesterday on Frontier.
That flight was significantly delayed originally, they said, because they
needed more fuel.
Then it was weather.
And then overnight it became the technical issues because of
the outage.
And they're being told some of them that the next
flight out is not until Saturday.
And so they're, I'm told, go find another airline and
have to pay for a ticket through that airline before
you can even get reimbursed through Frontier.
So there are some frustrated passengers that have been talking
to us over the last 30 minutes.
I'm going to step out of the way though, so
that you can see what the boards are looking like
right now.
As for departures, my last count about 10 minutes ago
showed that there were 32 delayed flights.
But take a look at that arrivals board.
Almost all of them are now saying that the flights
coming in are delayed, which will then impact the flights
that are supposed to be leaving.
So you can expect that there will be some more
frustrated passengers.
But for the most part, overall things were running pretty
smoothly here in Miami International Airport.
I did speak to ATSA supervisor who I see quite
often doing live shots here.
He told me that people are going through security without
issue and that normally if it's something huge that people
start yelling at ticket agents, people start yelling at security
guards.
He said that he is not personally seeing that.
I've walked up to people waiting in line for the
ticket counter at several different airlines and they told me
that they're simply checking in, that they have not been
impacted by this.
Now, this morning, the Federal Aviation Administration said some of
the airlines impacted by this were Delta American, Allegiant, United
and Spirit.
Now, other competitors, including Allegiance said they were having issues
when it came to their bookings, their check in and
trip management functions online.
So again, we saw that what what that arrivals board
looks like.
Things could change as it has been rapidly over the
next few hours we will be here.
So we will keep you posted.
Miami International Airport did tell us to remind passengers to
reach out individually to your airline to see what the
status of your flight is before you come here.
For now, I'm live at Miami International Airport.
Morgan Reiner, CBS News Miami.
Morgan, I'm curious.
Austin has been showing all morning over on CBS for
two hours.
He was showing this, this blue screen that says recovery
and you got to restart.
Are you seeing, I'm assuming that the Miami international, much
of it if not all of it operates on on
PC systems and Microsoft.
Have you seen those blue screens at all?
I have not, but I did hear American Airlines employees
walking by us throughout the morning.
I did hear one of them say that they had
to reboot their computers, but once they rebooted it, it
was fine.
Several mentioned that things are running maybe a little bit
slower, but I am not seeing what did Austin call
it, those blue screens of death?
I think that's what he called it.
We're not seeing that out here at the airport.
