Ground stop issued at Philadelphia International Airport due to equipment outage

A ground stop has been issued at three airports, including Philadelphia International Airport, due to an equipment outage on Monday, the FAA said. 

The issue caused ground stops at Philadelphia International Airport, Newark Liberty International and Teterboro Airport.

There are dozens of delays at all of these airports.  

"The FAA is pausing flights into Philadelphia International, Teterboro and Newark Liberty International airports due to issues with some frequencies at Philadelphia TRACON," a spokesperson said. 

TRACON stands for Terminal Radar Approach Control. It is an air traffic control facility that uses radar and radios to guide planes approaching and departing from airports. 

Chopper 3 was at PHL, where you can see some of the planes stuck on the runway.
