Ground stop questions, answered
Is there an FAA ground stop right now?
No ground stop, but 4 airports are affected by delays or closures as of 10:09 UTC.
Can planes land during a ground stop?
Usually yes. A ground stop halts departures bound for the affected airport; aircraft already airborne are normally still cleared to land. A full airport closure is different — nothing arrives or departs.
Has the ground stop been lifted?
The ground stop portion has ended. Remaining delays come from metering programs, not from a hold on departures.
What is a ground stop?
A ground stop is an FAA traffic management order that holds departures to one or more airports, usually for weather, volume or equipment problems. It is issued per airport and can be national in scope.
