Tech outage affects passengers at Cherry Capital Airport
TRAVERSE CITY -- Millions of airline passengers, including people flying out of Traverse City’s Cherry Capital Airport were affected by a world-wide internet outage. The outage was experienced by Microsoft and impacted different services, including airlines. Passengers at Cherry Capital were left unable to check in to their flights. To be clear, it was problem for the airlines, not the airport itself. “At 4:00 this morning, we received notification that some of the airline tenants were having some computer problems. So with that, we immediately did an inventory of all airport systems. So make sure our safety and security systems were all intact and operating fine. Our next step then was to talk with the FAA to make sure all those systems were fine. And then the TSA. So once we knew the safety security systems of the airport were all intact and that we then started to learn that it wasn’t a cyber attack, it was a computer update,” said Cherry Capital Airport CEO, Kevin Klein

Just a stone’s throw up the peninsula, you’ll find Edmondson Orchards if you’d rather purchase from a roadside farm stand. Make sure to buy at least a quart of sweet and tart each, and while you’re at it, look for unique varieties like Ebony Pearl and White Gold.
