The Federal Aviation Administration said early Wednesday that snow and ice have prompted officials to delay takeoffs at the Atlanta airport, the world's busiest. Some arriving flights also are being delayed more than an hour.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport said in a statement last night that crews were de-icing airplanes as wintry weather moved into metro Atlanta.
The flight tracking service FlightAware.com early Wednesday reported 90-minute delays at the airport in Memphis, Tennessee, a major hub in the U.S. air transportation system.
