(ABC22/FOX44) - More than half of flights into and out of Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport are either cancelled or delayed Monday as part of wider technical disruptions.Flight disruptions began when a circuit on a fiber optic cable in Philadelphia failed Monday morning, and while there was a backup cable, it had reportedly been inadvertently cut by an Amtrak construction crew. The cable is due to be replaced in the coming years.Flights to and from the New York and Philadelphia areas, where airports temporarily grounded all planes earlier Monday, are most affected, but there have been problems in airports throughout the eastern U.S., including Burlington.Of 10 flights scheduled to depart from Leahy BTV on Monday, three - United Arlines 3404 and 4575 to Newark, and American Airlines 4283 to Philadelphia - were cancelled, while five others were running late, according to data from Leahy BTV's website.Four of 16 flights scheduled to arrive at the airport were cancelled - UA 3558, 4384, and 3439 from Newark, and AA 2850 from Philadelphia. Four others were running late, with two flights now expected to arrive past 1:00 a.m. Tuesday. The airport had not scheduled any arrivals past midnight.Plattsburgh International Airport, which only had three total flights scheduled Monday, says it is not seeing any disruptions.The FAA also on Monday began testing an AI traffic control system but say it is not related to the disruptions, as it was only being tested in the Washington D.C. area.Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
