While the Chicago ARTCC remains “ATC Zero” due to the equipment damage from a fire on September 26, the FAA is now planning to begin the transition to regular operations on Sunday night at 10 p.m. (CDT), according to NBAA Air Traffic Services. However, Chicago Center is still expecting to use numerous traffic-management initiatives, such as airspace flow programs and ground delay programs, along with maintaining a fairly significant route structure early in the week to help facilitate this transition, it added.
