WASHINGTON - Air traffic at Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Thurgood Marshall Airport, Dulles International Airport and Reagan National Airport are being impacted Monday evening due to an evacuation at a Federal Aviation Administration facility in Virginia.

Airport officials say the FAA air traffic control tower in Leesburg has experienced an issue from construction work at the facility at around 6 p.m.

The FAA said in a statement, "The FAA has put traffic management initiatives in place to slow flights into the Washington area airports. Fumes from construction work permeated the control room at the Washington Center, which handles high altitude flights over the area. We are actively working to fully ventilate the facility. Controllers are handling a reduced number of flights safely."

BWI Airport tweeted that a ground stop is currently in place along with a temporary air traffic management program.

BWI Marshall is in a ground stop due to evacuation of an FAA enroute center. No estimate so check with your airline concerning your flight.

Due to a smoke condition at Washington Center, there is a traffic management program in effect for airports in that region. #developing pic.twitter.com/mF6xJOUm8j

Well that was easy. Thank you.
 
A contractor spilled an adhesive in one of the air handler rooms. Funes spread and controllers became sick. My buddy had just left before this happened.
 
Now they're not so sure it was an adhesive. Sounds like they're sending most of the controllers to the hospital to be evaluated

If it's the same work they were doing to my facility last summer it's probably asbestos

This isn't a joke. They finally did asbestos removal at my facility last summer.
