FLIGHT departures to airports in the Washington D.C. area were suspended on Sunday while repairs were being made to a communications system at a radar approach control facility, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). "The facility has switched to a backup system," the FAA said in a statement. "Flights from New York bound for D.C. are exempt and flights departing D.C.-area airports continue." Dulles and Reagan airports said separately on Twitter they were expecting flight delays due to the FAA ground stop and told passengers to check with their airlines for schedule updates.
