Airport in Escanaba back up and running

ESCANABA, MI--   Flights have resumed at the Delta County Airport. 

A malfunction of the Airport Weather Observation System shut down operations Monday until Federal Aviation Administration personnel could diagnose the problem. 

Officials say an antenna had moved over time, creating a less-than-optimal communication line to the main equipment.  Airport administration and the FAA are working on moving the antenna to a more favorable position.  Officials also want to establish a core group of weather observers as a back-up in case of future problems.

Flights resumed Tuesday.
