SAN ANTONIO \u2014 Faulty air condition inside the air traffic control tower at San Antonio International Airport resulted in dozens of delayed flights Monday as officials warned\u00a0<\/a>travelers to\u00a0stay updated\u00a0<\/a>on their travel status.\u00a0<\/p>\n Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration said it was slowing flights out of the facility, citing air conditioning problems in the air traffic control tower.\u00a0<\/p>\n At 5:35 p.m., the FAA said in an update that operations were returning to normal after “technicians have fixed the tower’s air conditioning system.”\u00a0<\/p>\n The airport initially posted on X about “higher-than-normal air traffic delays” at 2:48 p.m. As of 4 p.m., the airport had experienced 102 flight delays, according to FlightAware data; nearly half were flights where San Antonio was the “origin” airport facility.
