Jacksonville Center closes down temporarily due to Covid-19
The 70-minute shutdown started at 4:20 p.m., after the FAA confirmed that the COVID-19 positive came Sunday, one of 11 reported there since June. That meant there was the potential to cause "delays and/or cancellations," according to the Jacksonville International Airport. (www.jacksonville.com) Daha Fazlası...

Another article on this unprecedented closure which reaked havoc in the Southeast on Monday PM. https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2021/01/04/faa-jacksonville-control-center-closing-for-cleaning-may-cause-delays-cancellations/
wreaked havoc - whoops!
For some reason I was looking at air traffic in the Southeast yesterday (mostly Florida and Georgia) and was wondering why traffic looked so weirdly light. I now know!
Pretty wild. I only heard about it because I had a family member get a flight cancelled and was told it was "because of Jacksonville" so I knew it had to be ARTCC something.
Ridiculousness. Thousands of Kobe have people go through any airport on any given day. If you think otherwise you are extremely naive.
Don’t understand why they don’t wait until like 2 am to clean the facility when traffic is at its lightest. Least impact on traffic. I was stuck at DFW when they decided to do it at 1 pm. What a mess it was.
