Dozens of flights were delayed or grounded at Richmond International Airport due to equipment problems at an air traffic control facility in Potomac, causing cancellations and delays. All airlines are required to update their equipment before July 1st to avoid potential interference from 5-G wireless signals, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg warned of possible disruptions ahead of the deadline.
