The Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport is among those affected in a widespread technology outage that has disrupted flights, banks, media outlets and companies worldwide.
We’re told that the 5:09 a.m. flight to Charlotte and 6 a.m. to Atlanta have anticipated delays. It appears as if the 5 a.m. flight to Charlotte has been affected at the Lynchburg Regional Airport as well, according to their website.
10 News reached out to Alexa Briehl from the Roanoke regional Blacksburg airport, who said: “Sounds like TSA is not impacted but certain ticketing functions are currently being impacted and troubleshooted. Passengers should expect residual delays and check with their airline directly for flight status.”
We will continue to update this story if we learn of any more flight delays in our region.
WSLS 10 is also impacted.
Due to this, our Virginia Today show will look different Friday morning given that we are unable to log into our computers or access the software we use to build our shows at this time.
Various reports indicate that the problem stemmed from an issue with Microsoft’s security software, which engineers say is causing computers to crash.
