Telecommunications Issue Hits Jacksonville Air Traffic Control

The Federal Aviation Administration reported a telecommunications issue at the Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center, affecting radar, frequencies, and automation. Despite this, critical air traffic services remain uninterrupted due to redundancies in equipment and communications systems.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced on Friday that a telecommunications problem has struck the Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center in Florida. This issue has led to the loss of radar, frequencies, and automation equipment at the center.

Despite these setbacks, the air traffic control center continues to function, according to the agency's statement. They assured that critical air traffic services are not compromised thanks to existing redundancies in both their equipment and telecommunications infrastructure.
