Approximately 650 flights in and out of the state of Florida were allegedly canceled affecting schedules till Saturday.
There seems to be a major air traffic control issue impacting a significant number of flights in/out of Florida.
Seems to be re: staffing at regional ATC ops in Jacksonville. @MCO has dozens of canceled flights. Awaiting word from @FAANews. pic.twitter.com/3ddKGcKXvU

Corporate news outlets, however, are reporting that the flight delays are due to the weather.
Action News Jax quoted a travel advisory issued by Tampa International Airport.
βTPA is continuing to experience flight delays at this time as a result of an FAA-imposed air traffic management program in response to bad weather to the north. This issue is impacting all Florida airports. As always, please check with your airline for flight updates.β
Local residents say there is no inclement weather affecting flights.

“Not a peep about it in the mainstream media.”
They always blame the weather and it is rarely true. We got this alert in Denver this morning and it is a beautiful day. I immediately knew something else was going on!

For the gaslighting corporate media and progressive pay for play shills, here is the Southwest pilots associationβs motion for a restraining order against the airline. Guess what itβs about? https://t.co/tjpZww7TmY pic.twitter.com/KIWeTQjCou
