Checkey Beckford reports from Newark Airport.
Incoming flights into Newark were briefly held on Monday as travelers started returning home from Labor Day weekend.
Equipment outage caused a ground stop at Newark Liberty International Airport starting at around 2:30 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The agency later confirmed that a "radar issue" triggered the ground stop and the slowing down of flights into New Jersey.
In a subsequent statement later Tuesday, the FAA pinned the blame on "data transmission issues" that impacted flights in and out of several airports in the Northeast. The agency said it was investigating what may have caused the problems.
The issue was not only preventing flights into EWR, it's also causing departure delays. Scroll down to see if your flight has been delayed or canceled:
