Airlines flying into Chicago O’Hare International, the second-busiest airport in the U.S., were disrupted because of smoke in the radar facility that tracks planes in the area.
Canceled flights topped 600 at O’Hare and totaled about 75 at nearby Chicago Midway International, while other aircraft were delayed, the Chicago Department of Aviation said. Airport operations remained crimped even after the three-hour evacuation at a U.S. Federal Aviation Administration control center.
