Rob Schneider, the Commissioner of Aviation for Islip Town, which oversees MacArthur Airport, warned travelers in a statement that there could be more delays tomorrow.
“There are currently no terminal operational issues at Long Island MacArthur Airport. However, the longer the FAA communications outage continues, the greater the potential for delays and cancellations tomorrow and over the next few days as airlines work to reposition aircraft and crews and restore their networks," Schneider said in his statement. "Passengers are encouraged to check directly with their airlines for flight updates before arriving at the airport.”
