ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Communications problems at a Federal Aviation Administration facility that processes flight plans were causing flight delays at airports across the United States Tuesday afternoon, the administration said.
The facility south of Atlanta is having problems processing data, requiring that all flight-plan information be processed through a facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The two facilities process all flight plans for commercial and general aviation flights in the United States, the FAA said.
The FAA said there are no radar outages and said they have not lost contact with any planes.
Delays were being reported at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, LaGuardia Airport in New York and several others. The total number of flights affected was unknown.
