Air traffic control staffing was under strain at airports in San Francisco, Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., but not MSP, according to the FAA’s dashboard Friday afternoon.
MSP passenger Kelly Fails, 55, said Friday he would be “rolling the dice” and spending another night at his Twin Cities hotel if his airline canceled his return flight.
“That’s all we can do,” he said. “If I get stuck here, good. I’m going to go have more fun at the mall.”
