A computer system that triggered widespread flight delays this morning is now up and running.
But it still may be a while before airports across the country get back on track.
Delta and Airtran have been particularly hard hit.
Around 5:15 this morning, the FAA began experiencing problems with its computer system that processes flight plan information.
Controllers had to start manually entering information for each take-off and landing.
That took much longer than the automated system and slowed everything down.
Passengers are being urged to check the status of their flight before heading to the airport.
Meanwhile, airlines stress that there was never any danger in the air.
Radar, weather equipment and radio communications were not affected.
