Communications issue, caused by lightning, temporarily halted flights at 2 Texas airports
Communications with radar control have been restored at Dallas Love Field Airport and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport after a lightning strike damaged transmission equipment, reports CBS Dallas/Fort Worth, citing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Flights out of DFW Airport and Dallas Love Field were temporarily suspended due to a communications issue, the FAA said. The issue started just before 7:40 p.m. local time Sunday.
At around 9:55 p.m., the FAA reported that all communications were restored at both airports.
A small number of flights were diverted to other airports because of the storms in North Texas.
