This is exactly the time of the initial delay - sat on taxiway for 1 hr. at TPA.

A representative for the Federal Aviation Administration told Action News Jax, "Due to a combination of severe weather, active military training in the airspace, and unexpected limited staff at the Jacksonville facility that handles high-altitude, en route traffic, the FAA took steps to safely manage air traffic the evening of Oct. 8. Normal operations returned at approximately 10 p.m."

Action News Jax Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh says the weather was clear in the area long before the delays were reported.

"It certainly doesn't seem like things are back to normal," Hill said. "There's tons of flights canceled still even [Saturday] so I don't really know what's going on."

At Jacksonville International Airport, a representative said seven flights were canceled. "Passengers and those picking up should check with their airline before heading to the airport."
