BWI Marshall Airport at near standstill after worldwide Microsoft outage

A worldwide Microsoft outage that’s grounded planes and impacted banks and other businesses appears to be bringing flights to a halt at BWI Marshall Airport Friday morning. BWI was packed around 5:30 a.m. as lines were at a standstill and major airlines grounded flights, citing communication issues. Many gate screens said flights were “on time,” but a Delta agent said, “We can’t do anything right now.”
