Ground stop ordered for all airports nationwide for ‘reasons of safety’
The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that it was halting all departing flights “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.”
The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday ordered a nationwide ground stop on all departing flights “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.”
The unusual alert contained no other information beyond stating that “all departing traffic should remain ground stopped until further notice.”
“Inbound international flights will be managed on a case by case basis,” the FAA said.
Nationwide ground stops are extremely rare.
“FAA technicians are investigating the issue,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in an online post. “We will provide immediate updates as we have them.”
Wondering if there will be any effect on the NBA schedule due to that.
