FAA ground stop: When will it end? Not as soon as youd like.
Everyone is still trying to work out how long it will take for planes to be able to fly again in the United States.
Air travel in the United States has been temporarily halted for the second time since 9/11, following a rare nationwide ground stop issued by the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday afternoon. Airlines passengers found themselves stranded at airports across the country, as officials including Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin attributed the ground stop to an unknown communications issue.
The duration of the ground stop remains uncertain, with no specific timeframe provided by the government. CNN reported that Homeland Security Secretary Mullin stated that resolving the issue would take some time and was unlikely to be resolved within an hour. The last nationwide ground stop in 2023 lasted around 90 minutes, but Mullin's comment suggested this one could take longer to resolve.
