  "account": "On Tuesday morning, San Diego International Airport faced a surge of passengers due to a technical malfunction that disrupted ticketing operations, resulting in lengthy queues and congested terminal facilities. The airport's official statement confirmed that aircraft were still arriving and departing despite the delays. The issue began around 8:30 a.m. and was traced back to an information technology system failure. The airport advised passengers to arrive early and verify their flight status through their airline app. The cause of the malfunction is under investigation. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, a communication infrastructure failure at a critical air traffic control facility led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights, affecting over 600 flights at Newark Liberty International Airport alone. The disruption caused significant delays at major Northeast U.S. airports, including LaGuardia and Kennedy in New York.",
