Lightning To Blame For Communications Issue That Suspended Flights At DFW Airport, Dallas Love Field
(CBSDFW.COM) — 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, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
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. 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, in part because of storms that moved through the area.
