AC Outage Grounds Flights at San Antonio Airport

San Antonio International Airport faced significant disruptions on Monday, with over 100 flights delayed. The primary cause was a malfunction in the air conditioning system within the air traffic control center, which led to rising temperatures. This situation prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to temporarily slow departures, affecting both incoming and outgoing flights. Technicians worked to resolve the issue, and the air conditioning system was repaired by Monday evening. As a result, airport operations started to return to normal. FlightAware data indicated 111 delays on Monday, including 55 departures and 56 incoming flights. Two flights were also canceled over the preceding day due to the HVAC issue. The airport experienced a notable increase in delays compared to previous days.
