Flights back to normal after FAA software glitch

The FAA said that most flights around the country were back to normal Wednesday, after a software malfunction delayed hundreds of flights on Tuesday.

The flight delays drew new criticism for the Federal Aviation Administration, which has been scrutinized over air traffic controller staffing levels and inspection standards for its ground-based equipment.

The Northeast was hardest hit by the delays prompted by a glitch at a Hampton, Ga., facility that processes flight plans for the eastern half of the U.S.
