[0:00]" Probably in the air this morning -- with safety by the slow down because of a computer glitch that's affecting the way -- Airplanes are spaced by the FAA Jim Peters -- the FAA spokesman for the northeast region of the country what's the problem."
[0:13]" The early this morning that we. We began to process. Flight plans. That identified around in an aircraft mechanic from one from an airport or another we've got to process them and manually. Around the system. Stable we're getting we're getting information by fax and email from public carrier's. And and we have to keep forward and to the computer system. In order to get that flight plans for one particular white. And there are so that we can give them time that they can support from the air from an airport. History as a result of our ability just to process these things. Manually. We are seeing the ways -- were around system including Logan. And the New York area. Airports. It's gonna take awhile to clear -- we have not yet. Identified the problem. We're trying to troubleshoot as quickly as possible so we can restore the capability of the system minority gets people going again but it's gonna take -- alliances to clear up this backlog that's been created."
[1:23]" And Jim they are now manually spacing the aircraft twenty minutes -- city of -- just because of us."
[1:30]" I RAI haven't talked Gloria traffic votes I don't know we've increased the of the -- distance between between the aircraft. Right it was my understanding that there are no. That the the the inability to process a flight plans is not affect the safety of the flights that are in the air. This this problem affects. Planes that are on the ground sitting at the -- what made you what you may before. Referring to is just give organize a little more time. To prosper in between processing plants to work to handle your rivals coming into the medical."
[2:08]" I understand but also ABC news is just reported that there's a total ground stop at. Atlanta Hartsfield in fact the FA EAC's meet the FAA. I had said earlier that the traffic bound for Atlanta from of the new York and Boston airports. Would not be permitted to go there until at least 10 AM."
[2:27]" I'd like can't confirm that it. You know but Islam -- ABC's information is correct."
[2:34]" That fight is final question Jim Peters is these it'll take some time to. To get this thing open and running to expose to be running again. What sort of delays as the morning goes on them and over scheduled flights increases. Are we likely to say."
[2:49]" That's that's a tough -- and make. Ordinarily. As we as we see. Early morning delays if it can build up throughout the day so the best advice is for people to -- their carrier. To get a night dear when Macon expects to be leaving here there -- airport. "
[3:07]" Jim Peters of the FAA in the New York City thanks for much of."
