Argentina–U.S. Flights Delayed at Ezeiza After American Air-Traffic-Control Outage
Flights from Argentina to the United States were delayed and rescheduled on Friday, November 13, after a communications failure disrupted U.S. air traffic control and prompted a nationwide halt to departures.
The disruption affected services from Ezeiza International Airport, including flights operated by American Airlines, Delta and United. The U.S. departure restriction was subsequently lifted, although airlines faced continuing schedule disruption.
Departures Rescheduled
La Nación reported that American Airlines flight AA900 to Miami, originally scheduled for Friday evening, was moved to 10 a.m. Saturday. Other U.S.-bound services also received revised departure times.
Aerolíneas Argentinas said its operations had not been affected at the time of its initial statement.
The disruption concerned connections to the United States and should not be described as a confirmed shutdown of every domestic and international flight across Argentina.
