A technical issue affected the air traffic control tower at Santa Barbara Airport, leading to over a dozen flight delays and cancellations. A cut fiber line, owned by Frontier Internet, interrupted communications and 911 services. The incident occurred due to construction work by a third party. Consequently, a ground stop was issued, cancelling 15 flights. Restoration of services was announced the following day, and the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed operations resumed normally after lifting the ground stop at 11:10 a.m.
A Frontier spokesperson confirmed that the fiber line was cut by a "third-party doing construction work," leading to significant service disruptions.
The outage at Santa Barbara Airport resulted in the cancellation of 15 arriving and departing flights as crews worked to restore communications.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced that operations returned to normal following the restoration of services post-outage at the Santa Barbara Airport.
The initial impact of the fiber line outage included disruptions to 911 dispatch lines and communication with the air traffic control tower in Santa Barbara County.
