Happy Monday: Flights delayed across America, affecting some in Myrtle Beach

It’s not an April Fool’s joke. Your flight to or from Myrtle Beach might be delayed due to a national scheduling issue.

The Federal Aviation Administration tweeted Monday morning several major airlines were experiencing delays due to a computer issue. While the problem has been resolved, several flights were still behind schedule Monday morning, including those going to Myrtle Beach.

The issue was with a company many airlines contract with, according to the Associated Press. 

The Myrtle Beach International Airport showed many flights delayed Monday morning. While the delays varied from a few minutes to a few hours, most of the delays were coming from cities like New York, Detroit, Philadelphia and Charlotte.

A full list of delays can be seen on the airport’s website or by calling individual airlines.
