Williamport Regional Airport official Thursday said a Federal Aviation Administration computer glitch that caused widespread flight cancellations and delays had little or no impact on local air service. “It had no effect on us,” airport executive director Thomas Hart said. Foul weather may have had a bigger impact, according to Jeff Corson, customer service manager for U.S. Airways at the airport. Corson said a noon departure was delayed for about 45 minutes, but that was due to bad weather in Philadelphia. A departure due to leave at 6 p.m. was cancelled. Corson said he was unsure of the exact reason for the cancellation, but was reasonably certain it was attributed to weather delays in Philadelphia. “On overcast days, that’s pretty normal,” Corson said. “In Philadelphia, once the ceiling drops to a certain level (they cancel or delay flights). That happens when we have bad weather, which in Philadelphia we had today.
