Since almost anything of interest (shows, gaming, food) has been shut down anyhow, it doesn't seem like a big loss. I do wonder why they haven't managed to clean the tower after 3 days. How much stuff can a control tower have to clean?
averaging delays for 13 hours.
didn't the same issue of a controller showing positive for corona virus happen just a few days back,i believe it was midway airport?those people are in fairly confined spaces and they do use and touch the same equipment..it is happening more and more...
Yes it was midway airport.
The arrival rate has been jumped from 10 to 12 per hour!
