Lambert Airport Website Crashes After Flights Delayed

ST. LOUIS, MO — The website of St. Louis' Lambert International Airport crashed for a few hours today, complicating an already harried situation resulting from a massive power outage at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the world's busiest transport hub and the heart of the United States' air transportation system. Several flights scheduled between Lambert and Atlanta were canceled Monday morning as the airport struggled to catch up after flights were canceled the previous day. With their website down, passengers had no way to check the status of their flights. Altogether, more than 1,200 flights were canceled yesterday due to the 11-hour power outage in Atlanta.

Lambert said their website is now operation again, but did not yet know what caused the outage.

FlySTL website is operational after a temporary technical issue. Please check flt status here or with your air carrier.
