WASHINGTON – Airlines have reported more than 500 cases involving unruly passengers since late December, and most started with passengers who refused to wear a face mask, federal officials said Wednesday. The FAA reported the figures shortly after it extended a “zero-tolerance” policy against unruly people on airline flights. The agency said that under the policy, passengers who disrupt or threaten the safety of a flight could face fines and jail time. The FAA, which resisted a federal requirement during the Trump administration, added its own mask mandate in January. “It’s an administrative procedure where the FAA makes the rules, determines who violated them then enforces the sanctions,” Booth explained.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The federal air traffic control center in Hilliard that controls air space throughout North Florida and South Georgia closed Wednesday -- the second time the center has closed this year. Several flights in and out of Jacksonville International Airport were delayed anywhere from a few minutes to 3 ½ hours. The FAA JAX Center in Hilliard is temporarily closing this afternoon into the evening which may cause extensive delays and/or cancellations. According to George Winterling, retired News4Jax Weather Authority chief meteorologist, the air traffic control center first opened in December 1941 at Imeson Field -- also known as Jacksonville Imeson Airport.

Anyone who is on a no-fly list can legally challenge their name being places on the list. Depending on why someone’s name is on the list can dictate how hard it is to get off the list. Booth says in that scenario, it could take up to six months to have a name removed from the list.

HILLIARD, Fla. – A photo provided to News4Jax gives a look at the wreckage of a plane crash that killed the pilot Monday afternoon north of Hilliard. Booth said the primary piece of evidence that leads him to believe engine trouble caused the crash is the propeller.

Booth said the photo of the wreckage also gives investigators two more clues:Fuselage intact on the ground, meaning the plane didn’t break apart in flight.
