Miami airport warns about delays concerning FAA tech issues. What to know right now
Flying on Monday? You might need some patience. Your flight could be delayed after FAA technical issues in Miami.
At around 2:30 p.m. Monday, Miami International Airport announced on Twitter that the airport was experiencing delays after the issues at the Federal Aviation Administration’s Miami Center.
As of 4 p.m., more than 50 flights out of MIA are delayed. No cancellations have been reported.
The airport recommends travelers follow up with their airline for the latest information on their flight. Here’s what to know about flights out of Miami after the FAA’s technical difficulties.
How can I check my flight’s status?
MIA has two online trackers you can use.
One of the flight trackers shows a list of all expected arrivals and departures with options to use a drop-down menu to narrow results. It displays the carrier, flight number and where the plane is going to or coming from. It also gives real-time updates on the flight’s arrival or departure status, which concourse the terminal is in and the location of baggage claim.
The other online tool lets you track by flight or route. If you know the carrier, the date and the flight number, this tool might be easier to use because it will only show information for your flight.
Check flight status with airline directly
Another way to check your flight status is with the airline directly. For some, this might be easier to do, especially if you’ve downloaded the airline’s app. You can also use the airline’s website. Here’s where to go for some of the popular airlines in South Florida:
▪ American Airlines or download the app from the App store for Apple users or the Google Play store for Android users.
▪ Delta or download the app from the App store for Apple users or the Google Play store for Android users.
