LOS ANGELES (AP) — A computerized system that guides arriving planes onto a runway at Los Angeles International Airport failed on Monday, delaying numerous flights around the country.
Two incoming flights were diverted, others were forced to circle the airport, and some planes were ordered to remain on the ground at other airports, officials said. Arriving flights were held up about 90 minutes. Departing flights were delayed about an hour, and several flights were canceled.
A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said the cause of the problem was unknown.
