INDUSTRY INFORMATION-(C)1997-2005 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
A malfunctioning radar system delayed flights into Boston's Logan airport for the
second day yesterday (11 October).
Federal officials were reportedly working to repair the system that was showing false
"targets" - radar blips that air traffic controllers knew were not aircraft.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Murray said that this uncommon problem
can be caused by a flock of geese, but it seemed to be recurring.
On average flights were delayed over two hours, The Associated Press reported.
